mistakes were made

what is there
to say,
or think of the single
room
in a shared house,
the hearing of footsteps
on the floor above,
the rattle
of dishes
down the hall.
how has this come to be.
from riches
to rags,
in such a furious
fall?
what memories appear
as sleep
doesn't come.
what are the reasons
for landing
here,
alone, and poor
under the fierce glare
of a relentless sun?
