After the War

There are no keys
for these rooms without doors
that litter spills from.

There are no ceilings above
long and empty corridors,
only stars in a dark sky.

There are no lights
in this city without people that
a chill wind sweeps through.

There are no memories
among the scattered bones
feral animals pick through.
