stormy weather
such a bittersweet sunset
wind whips the trees
the old woman sits
at the mirror reflecting
life’s illusions
ironing shirts
trousers are less fun
on the ironing board
opening the door
that big fat fly bumbled in
open the window
cleaning his room
old toys sit on the book shelves
dusting memories

I really enjoyed reading this. I particularly like the 2nd verse. Well done. 🙂
