Homecoming

He came back with medals.
Peacefully resting in a coffin.

Home

Home.
A four letter word.
For him.
Its a jail.

Love

Our convenient love.
Allowed exchange of partners,
For money.

Shadows

The shadows looked unfamiliar.
But, the lights told the truth.

House

That house.
Could never be a home,
For anyone.

Couple

Two strangers met.
Years later.
They still are strangers.

Phone

The number was correct.
But, the person at home.
Wrong.

Twins

Always together.

But, only one survived.
To tell the truth.

New

It glistens.
It is beautiful, so real.
My new eye.

Icecream

She drooled.
Looked hungrily.
But, the ground tasted it first.

Chair

Her favorite.
Always.

Now, dust sits on it.

Pockets

The empty pockets.
Reminded gently.
Twenty more days remaining.

For sale a house.
Six rooms, with smell of blood.

Jump

The jump was perfect.
But the parachute wasn’t.
