The doorbell rings less

The doorbell rings less As dust assembles On once polished seats The old coffee pot Misses a few beats As cups gather hopefully Voices linger Held by the silence Seeking a response The phone chimes A face time visitor Fulfilling a duty Soon they will share Unvalidated memories Speak of love Their words will be lost In the silence
