empty bowls

One by one they’ve been washed and stored

three retired for just old age alone
one by our hand
two on their own

two vanished without a trace
no sign was left behind
I just know it was horrific
And no closure of any kind

for years there were seven
now only two remain
five empty bowls have now
been washed and drained

This will not be for long
I do know the cure
More orphans will find us
Of that I am sure
fuck 'em if they can't take a joke

"what a long, strange trip it's been"

    you are such a writer
    you can make the image of one simple bowl
    to be as sad as it really is

    that was awesome. mismatched, indiscriminate bowls..absorbing the surroundings, and losing their lives simultaneously.
