Weary Afternoon

Samiya Green
Jan 2, 2022

Glass drenched from the

water rings on the table.

The stereo has no soul,

it’s just strings with tone

leaving hope all alone,

screaming internally,

loving silently with

no place to go,

just an instrumental voice

with a hole to echo

the feelings of being lonely.

As an organ for serenading

without a heart to queue the notes.
