This House

51 12 15
                                    

So much empty space, where

Hours hung like raindrops,

Poised to water life's tilth,

But turned to mist instead,

Leaving those wastrel days

As fallow testimonials to

What should have been.


So many blank walls where

We painted promises in words,

Yet never placed a stroke,

And we wondered why our

Friends and others we loved

Looked askance, unsure if

We saw we were unfinished.
