A HOUSE WITHOUT
6/1/2017

ALL THE WALLS ARE IN A MESS
FROM HOLDING DOWN THE FLOOR
AND FINDING MIXED SUCCESS
THE ELECTRICS ARE FRAYED AND SPENT
FROM LIGHTS TURNING ON AND OFF
LIKE NO DECISION IS BETTER YET

BRICKS ON THE OUTSIDE SO HEAVILY WORN
BEATEN BY WINDY RAIN FROM THE SKY SO SCORN
IF THE DIRT OF THE YARD HAD A THING TO SAY
THE SERIES OF WORDS WOULD BE SWEPT AWAY
BY THE GRASS GROWN TOO LONG AND DRY
LEFT TO FEND FOR ITSELF AS ROAMING CREATURES PASS BY

IN THE DINING ROOM A CLOCK STILL HANGS RIGHT ALL THE TIME
MEASURING SECONDS AS HANDS FALL AND HANDS RISE

AN ATTIC KEEPS THE SECRETS LOCKED AND DUSTED THICK
ON TOP THE HOUSE FULL OF EMPTY BRICK

A GARDEN OUT BACK IS OUT GROWN
WITHOUT ATTENDENCE LIFE GROWS RELENTLESS

DIRT FILLS IN THE HOLES LEFT BY THE LACK OF A SWEEPING BROOM

THINGS ARE BEAUTIFUL
THINGS FALLING SO ASLEEP
NOTHING SO CRITICAL AS MEANING WHAT YOU KEEP
KEEP THE SKY FROM TEARING THOUGH A SAGGING ROOF

THE HOUSE WILL FALL
AS ALL THINGS MUST
NOTHING RUSTED NAILS CAN DO
