Poem : They Don't Answer When I Ring

A doll house with flawless fittings
A miniature imitation of
The residence that houses it

Three dolls are sitting silently
On three separate floors alongside
The heavily curtained windows

Silence violently vibrating
Permeating paper thin walls
A stillness falls around the house

What’s this migrating malady
Spreading between lifeless houses
That makes me walk the other way

The stiff doll house family figures
Identical to their owners
But more alive than I thought
