Silent schoolyards
empty apartment blocks,
deserted neighbourhoods
untrodden streets
robbed of their vibrancy;
A peerless shining sky
blue,golden and bright
canopies their absence of echo;
Deserted runways,
empty departure lounges,
silent concourses
where a solitary figure
remains standing
staring,
at destination boards
signless and unflickering,
his eyes engulfed
in their amnesia.
