Vacant, Expressionless, White

Vacant
Blank
Longing
Expressionless
White.
The characteristics of the first
lonely fall of winter,
mirroring the depression
that one sometimes feels
at an empty dinner table.
Meal for two,
eaten by one-
the heart yearns for 
a love sitting across.
Empty seat
Vacant
Expressionless
White.
