Revealed in the Sun

Golden sunlight falls,

Diving to summon color

From a broken world.

Dust blows from the hearth

That lies cold without tending.

The door hangs open.

The roof has fallen

The doll has been abandoned

Torn from her cold hands.

All that time ago

The family took nothing

As they left their home

Tears flowing over skin

Standing in front of that house.

No one stands with her.
