Within the soul
of an abandoned farmhouse
somewhere in the middle
of lost and forgotten
and about to be reclaimed.
Shattered doors
and skeleton key locks
broken rope
window sashes.
Sagging fireplace mantle
mourns
uneven random plank floors
and evolving moss coatings.
This was never
my always home
until now.
