House

A house no more
Save on the distant shore
Of my memory

Cracked window,
Drafty, makes me daffy
"Peeve Room" joys,
Music through the night
Friends and lovers,
Made me warm
Till morning's light

Haunting memories
Of the bumper-car ride of life,
Friends and lovers gone,
And too many an ex-wife,

I can still see out
That cracked window,
That is no more,
Those rooms will die with me,
That home that I did adore.
