Gone! Gone! Gone! Gone! Gone! Gone! Gone! Gone! Gone! Gone! Gone! Gone! Gone! Gone! Gone!
The door is gone! The floorboards are gone! The windows are gone! The mirrors and thefront lawn and the mailbox are gone!
All the world is gone! The lifeline is gone! The foundations have disappeared! Every address is just an idea!
The photographs are as gone as the moments! The letters are as gone as the romance!
The kitchen sink is gone the toilet is gone the toaster is gone the shoe rack is gone the junk drawer is gone!
Gone the Mother gone the Father gone the Eldest gone the Youngest and gone the one in the middle gone the dog
gone the lizard and gone the crickets it was going to eat!
Gone the family reunion! Gone the spring breakers!
Gone the Christmas cards sent out on time! Gone the fake smiles and the silence at the dinner table!
Gone the Father’s recliner! Gone the fallen beer bottles next to him!
Gone the Eldest and his hidden computer tabs! Gone the Youngest and his secret stash of tootsie rolls under the
mattress!
Gone the Mother who spends hours staring in the bathroom mirror digging through the secrets of herself and the pill
bottles in the cabinet behind it! Gone is her reinvention on Monday! This week has no end!
Gone interventions Gone disciplinary actions Gone moments of hope Gone the tensions of all the rest Gone the
middle child as he always was Gone the neighbor with the ugly dog Gone the silent jokesters from next door!
Gone the next door and the door after!
Gone the door as concept gone the door as refuge gone the door as intimate opportunity gone the world beyond it!
Gone the world outside of it!
Gone the WORLD! Gone the WORLD as concept gone the WORLD as refuge gone the WORLD as intimate
opportunity gone the WORLD as it is misunderstood!
Gone the house! Empty! Barren! Begging! Not! To! Be! Forgotten!
Gone the dancing-breathing-washed-away gone six minus 1 minus and GONE all the rest!
