(NaPoWriMo Day#29)
A phone rings inside
An empty house. The
Sound bounces off of
Polished wooden floors
Seemingly searching
For somebody to
Answer it. The first
Ring calls out to the
Family room where
Children once laid on
The floor playing board
Games just before bed.
The second ring roams
To the kitchen where
The man and lady
Once Prepared dinner.
The third ring sounds in
The dining room where
Together they ate.
The final ring fell
Muffled from the phone;
drifting down to rest.
