Are you conscious in the moment....?

today

a darkened room

once filled with laughter

sits vacant

a lone figure

stands in the doorway

sullen

time passes

now only dust remains

    I like this poem probably more for what is not said, then what is: is it a child's room, now grown and moved on? died? and why is the figure alone, why no spouse: widow, divorce, never married? so many stories can erupt from this simple verse.

    sullen: good word

    suggestion: change up the final two lines, they are a little cliche, but then, it is a poem of an instance in life that is, sadly, becoming cliche.....

    Powerful stark realism

    You nailed that.

    Yes, and sometimes unconscious is the moment also...
