The sign is up For Lease

The sign is up. For Lease.

The place I won. The noise.

A sudden, hollow peace.

Devoid of all its joys.


The lawn is green and neat,

The fence stands stark and tall.

A perfect, still defeat,

Beyond recall.


I asked for this. I thought.

This quiet, clean domain.

The bargain dearly bought,

A slow, peculiar pain.
