THE WIND IN THE OLD HOUSE.


The wind shudders and sighs
throughout the old, barren house.
Its rusty walls are grim.
I found the darkness
reverberates throughout the walls,
the anger is mass, like the sea.
The loneliness fills the a void
in my mind.
I am gone, and I am here.
I am no one and everyone.
I am a lone shoe on the stair
that is old and wanting wear.
I do not try to be like anyone else.
I do not try to be a second guest
in someone else's home.
I move around without a sound.
But the old man I love is a grouch,
he tried to bite and scratch and crawl
his way out of bed,
blankets clawing at his old hands.
He thought of death and I was still.
