Yesterpeople

stair board creek
the house long empty
. . . echoes
stale shuffling
shadows to the sound
of overlays 
drained
the house bled
its final drops of her

merged, she
with watchers
faces trapped in windows
held in mist, a haunting
flows of happenings 
in the cold
in the dark
. . . ghosts 
of yesterpeople

“Faces trapped in windows” what a strong line is that! Conveys so much. I love the depth of this poem and how descriptive it is along with that last line which stands out for me. Truly! You have a unique way with weaving thoughts. Pleasure reading this. Sending you light always
