"Robert Frost at midnight, the audience gone" - Robert Lowell; Robert Frost... https://www.amerlit.com/poems/POEMS%...t%20(1969).pdf

"Saturday night: the sun is going down;"."A Picture" by William Osborn Stoddard
http://www.poetryatlas.com/poetry/po...a-picture.html

"Velvet hearts thump incessantly lighter." - Greycloud99; Velvet hearts... (Awesoku/Romantiku)... https://allpoetry.com/poem/18335187-...y-Greycloud99/
The poem contains many images of age and destruction. Maybe it's that. Ex:"Sound of a stick upon the floor, a sound
From somebody that toils from chair to chair;"But all is changed, that high horse riderless,/Though mounted in that saddle Homer rode/
Where the swan drifts upon a darkening flood.«
Enjoyed "Velvet Hearts"¡
