Downsizing

curtains fall down in front of windows

hiding the view from outside,

shoes on their sides lay, waiting for 

their user to again appear,

unused boxes search for their contents

long since removed and put away,

a table that held many meals prior

given away to charity,

a kitchen open to the living rooms

awaits its new owners, not knowing

what to expect or how they will

be used in the coming years,

rooms repainted and items removed,

packed and repacked as if trying

to hide away all the emptiness,

a house...  a home...  a meeting place...

it was all three of these and more,

and then the time came to give it all

away, move into more accommodating.
