Notes About The Poem

Date written: 09/02/2023

No One To Come Home To


Aloneness 
metamorphosizes 
into isolating loneliness
with haunting banshee-like screams; 
daily caged inside
perennially mute 
four walls, 
a divorced empty nester.
Inhabiting 
                             a home 
once filled 
with mirth and chatter.
In much happier times, 
                             his refuge; 
now a lonely prison,
Until he steps out 
the front door 
to plenary freedom.
