the hanging curtains


The dark with lines of gold curtains
Hanging on the curtain rods for years
It never see the light of days
The lizards become the running owners instead

It never been drawn back
For days it hangs there
It doesn't complain or fall down
It holds on day and night

It is only the oval rings
The gravity pull and usage
It finally breaks out
Leaving the curtains gasping for air

Once it was steady
Hanging on the curtain rods
The energy of the new
Slowly time takes its toll

Now the oval rings
The old throw away change by new
The spares come ready to make the hanging
The dark with lines of gold curtains drawing in

The silence flow into it
Only sound from neighbours
Cats and sparrows and dogs
The day will be routine
