the clock above the mantel
recites this steady prose
this house stands empty
outside its walls
the wailing wind
echoes through its halls
the crows, ravens, vultures
invited they all came
to pick and divide
the mosaic of this life
the walls stripped bare
the carpets rolled up
only the creaking floor
protests this naked home
above the mantel the crier remains
reciting this steady prose
