Moving House 1

Moving house

Breaking news, time- brandished
My auntie moving house
Joining the last of the dots of blandishments

Left dangling by kin far and wide
While she coasted in the east

Gonna cease to be where 
Her great grandpa felled
Trees to make doors for a dwelling, 
Which helplessly  helped the exodus

By Tamravarni
Which is also river like her
And in movement like her intent.
