sitting in the empty house (vocal only)

A poem about the memories contained in a house.
sitting in the empty house we sit on the floor / backs to wall in a notquite silence. Not quite because the acoustics have been removed along with our possessions. Memories echoing back through years bouncing off walls we’ll never have to paint. This shell of our lives where we conceived and half-raised three children. The baggage of thirty years packed blanketed and roped into a borrowed truck. We look around at the hollowness. We look around at each other. We turn our backs to the walls and walk out the front door towards the future. (from Original Clichés, Rob Walker, Ginninderra Press, 2016) |
