Dissolution

Click
The latch drops quiet
No tumult. Done.
Softly, now, an ending.
The way to that life, that door.
Closed.
An end to showy, shimmering
End of chapter, verse, and song
Ended – gone.
Fire, burned to embers, burned to ash.
Family that was
Hope – dashed.
Put to past that life. Door
Closed.
No more clamoring of boisterous, busy, boys
No more of what was.
No more.
Click
The latch drops quiet
Softly in the heartache, damns as it falls
Honeysuckle sweet the lack/Harder than maul
But the window…
Oh! The window!
Gently released
Wide.
Open.
