My blog this week is going to feature a rough draft poem I wrote for my Victorian house that we are soon to move from:
House on Central
blending with the sky
forget the brotherly rape
and embrace goodbye
For opportunity has come
for your scratched up wood
to heal with varnished love
just like it should
Your walls will hold
a new family stable
and shelter 2 years
with food on the table
A couch with 2 cats
and a vase full of flowers
and a flood that brought tears
that later empowered
House on Central
our time has come
to part ways and go on
not leaving behind a crumb
For a new purpose
and shelter you share
with a new family
please treat her with care
This poem is a rough draft and only took a short amount of time to write. I want to go back and make it a bit deeper in the future, maybe when we have actually moved out of our lovely home. To be continued possibly...
