Die Verlassenheit    


Sunday: a church door left ajar.
Down the street, an abandoned
house with its roof sunken, windows
broken—too empty to keep echoes.
Inside, the single light bulb is suspended
from its cord against darkness. Loneliness
so close it must have made the bed.
You come inside me and wait
until our solitude pulls away.
