Nameless, Unknown

+
+

My heart is a building, naked and plain
built from old lumber, Left in the rain
+
+

The eaves, the trim, Knobs and shades
barring the rust, dust of the days
+
+

The windows they breathe through planks on the wall
sparing one space, for sunlight to fall
+
+

on floors untouched, except for the rays
in rooms where I once, traveled the maze
+
+

My heart is a building, vacant, but one
section of floor, where I lay undone
+
+

No furnishings slumber in corners, on walls
the doors are all closed to frighten the halls
+
+

dark, and since lonely, long forgotten
for lack of my feet, know not where they end
+
+

My footage, as square, conforms to my waist
for nothing to move, except for my face
+
+

To look at the sunlight, cutting the void
where once was the bed, I lay as a boy
+
+

My heart is a building, once called a home
now it’s just me, nameless, unknown
