The Attic
The door creaks rarely opened
resisted by uncared for hinges
To expose artifacts awaiting
tomorrow's fond reanimation
Dust floats in stasis caught
Within a shaft of errant sun
Through a fly specked window
Illuminating this random ruck
Of prior lives which sits in
Neglected wistful suspension
These are best left silent in
Contemplative repose
Anticipating metamorphic change
As the door is slowly closed
