Fresh paint drip from shutters closed
Windows squeak sparkles... latched
No door mat inviting in salutation
No doorbell offering request of entry
Sentry 21 posted... alarm engaged
Peering through curtains, sand lay on the floor
Brads sunken deep in walls clawed by deceit
Tears tide meet sand as if game of tag
Sprawled in darkness of a pastel house
A heart beats in pain...
In a corner
