I live in a house


I live in a house
That no longer exists.
Its windows are glaring out
Onto its ruptured past,
Unhealed wounds,
Unlived memories.
Green pastures
Of thoughts unthought,
Lives unlived;
Onto the high piles of shoes
Undestined to roaming
The streets of cities built
To outlast all history;
Heaps of trunks no one
Shall put on shelves
Of trains destined on journeys
That are not to be.
 
I live here, in this house
That had crumbled
Before its life began;
Before my eyes
Got used to darkness.
