Moving Home

Half a home, half a home, Half a home conjured. Into the jaws of skip …….goes all we plundered. Clear out the crap we said Make like we now are dead Into the jaws of death …….our waste was thundered. Get rid of all the **** we must not keep one bit Time now to throw it out …….in the skip laundered. Sorted before we die Life’s reason flying by Ignoring plea full cry …….clearout was ordered. Memories to right of us Memories to left of us Memories we now must push …….why so we wondered. Things that we knew so well Things that we could not sell Into the jaws of hell …….all now was lumbered. Stripping our house near bare Why then do we despair Should we now even care Shedding the things we wear …….necessity hovered. Plunged into frantic haste Plunged into needful waste Choices on logic based Leaving our life unlaced …….why are we bothered. Old memories never fade Of the shared choices made Even when you‘re dismayed don’t count the price you paid …….when sunshine was thundered. Back from the jaws of hell New home that suits us well Honour the choices made Memories that never fade …….not shattered and sundered. Ivor G Davies
