WINDOWS

Windows reflects the world outside
Inside, the soul remains concealed. 

A ticking clock, a relentless reminder
Of moments passing, unreclaimed. 

A diner, a stage for silent dramas
Obsoletion fades stains of trauma.

Each matron, an enigma, unnamed
In the quiet corner, an empty stool...

A cook, a keep, a bartender secretly weeps
polishes glasses, pushing the dregs away.

Waiting for a story untold but not forgotten.
