The Departing Emptiness (poem)

The bare walls,
Empty Shelves,
Barren floors,
And tidy desks.

All things moved,
Removed from home,
To boxes
And suitcases.

This room,
A ghost now,
There, but not,
Nothing within.

A clock,
Tick. Tock.
Dies out.
No use.

Stagnant air,
Still memories,
Dust collecting,
Dust consuming.

The unbecoming,
Undoing,
Unraveling,
Emptiness of goodbye.

-Zero
