Empty

Posted by threeleafshamrock on July 15, 2009 - 21:26
from the ABC set shamrock's ramblings

Endless days; empty!
Unvaried routines;
rising, realizing,
dusting, staring
at photo-spattered walls
and empty chairs,
where once their feet
did not reach the floor.

I've never had kids, but I can imagine what it must be like when they fly the nest. Cleverly and succinctly done, Chris. :-)

A double, whiskey; always a double - it saves getting up again so soon and eventually it saves getting up at all ;)
