The closet is empty
Jangling hangers
From the clothes that were yanked off
Stunning shock
Make believe
This good china
saucers and plates
Are set for playing house
Dish towels and rags
A moldy Clorox smell
The bed
That was once full of roses
Has lit up in flames
A beautiful disaster
A bitter departure
Vases smashed
Thrown to the wall
pieces covered with dust and dirt
The wooded floors rise
Your invisible footsteps
still printed
This place we called a house
Crumbled
Strikingly
Disorderly
When you walked out the door
Let all the antiques
All the silverware melt
Cabinets fly open with screams
This furniture
turned over
Chairs with one leg
Table split in two
The Vanity... destroyed
Cracked marble
Off the armoire
This is the site of a home gone wrong
