hiding the view from outside,
shoes on their sides lay, waiting for
their user to again appear,
unused boxes search for their contents
long since removed and put away,
a table that held many meals prior
given away to charity,
a kitchen open to the living rooms
awaits its new owners, not knowing
what to expect or how they will
be used in the coming years,
rooms repainted and items removed,
packed and repacked as if trying
to hide away all the emptiness,
a house... a home... a meeting place...
it was all three of these and more,
and then the time came to give it all
away, move into more accommodating.
