In The House of Grief

In the house of grief,
insanity is the norm
and unbelief
haunts
uninhabited rooms
waiting
for the return of the deceased.

In the house of grief,
footsteps reverberate
implying
that the missing one
has come back.

In the house of grief,
the death
of the loved one
becomes a fantasy,
a half-remembered dream,
and the illogical mind
accepts
the illusion.
