paintings hang on the walls
along with an ancient clock,
time has not been kind to
this dwelling as ivy and moss
cover the outside brick as if
painted by an artist whose
work is not known... inside
there are only a few rooms
standing as the separators
have all decayed and rotted,
roots of the trees can be
seen traveling beside the
lumpy sidewalks as weeds
replace grass in all directions,
holes in the walls that used to
be windows now look like
the eyes of dead relatives
whose image was burned
into the concrete and bricks,
holes in the roof or what is
left standing allows the sun,
wind, and rain to flow freely
in all the rooms giving the
house a swampy appearance.
