Home of Old

The carpet,

Old and faded

Throughout years

Of living conflicts

Of family wealth

And death.

Windows tainted

Condensed fog

Cold outside

Cold inside.

Hand prints printing

Foot steps stepping

Smoky breath

And sudden chills.

Enter my home

With mysteries

Untold and still,

In frozen time.

Dusty counters

Floor board rott

Molded walls

And grandfather clock

Step inside

And take a walk

Down the halls

Of old times sought

And may you crawl

In all I've lost.
