Sense Sonnet - Acher

Last to Rest

They said they had received a call.
Worried that something here was wrong.
I said that here at home we all
Were doing fine, getting along.
My brother and 2 sisters were
Sleeping peacefully in their beds.
The passing of time is a blur,
As the loneliness of life spreads.
One sister went to sleep in May.
The other left 3 years ago.
20 years, brother's been away.
In beds, their bodies rest just so.

They took away my family.
Now what is to become of me?
