Bruce Thornell, Australia, two poems

 Life

is a blank canvas .

Celebrate

the colours you choose.

DECEASED ESTATE 

( an old house laments )


I curse the immortality 

of bricks and mortar.

Blinds half mast

downpipe tears.

My frail human puppies

how soon they perish.

Silent now

no echo's of life.

Save the pendulum's 

still beating heart.

As time's to and fro

walks steadily on.

Articles.

The trappings of their journey.

motionless in their place.

Behind cupboard doors

the comforting smell of garments.

Soon to be cleared

for new pets await.

While I'll endure

the emptiness of auction.

Before the bustle

of strange new footsteps.

Safe beneath

the wing of my roofline.

I crave the sound

of laughter once more.
