American Bauhaus

Surrounded by peeling wallpaper 
it’s a picture of provocation;
These holes tended to terrify her.

Spots that need so much renovation
must be rebuilt right down to the core;
There’s happiness in new construction.

You’ve got an idea what’s in store,
once the soul is restored to this house;
An antique knob attached to the door.

Enough beauty to instantly rouse
a blend called American Bauhaus.
