Old House Tour
" Can you feel the soul of an abandoned house; can you hear the whispering?" - Constance La France.
dilapidated and weather-beaten,
looking at this old house
from the outside.
a graffiti artist has paid a visit.
there are patches
of discolored grass on the lawn
full of overgrown weeds.
it's been long abandoned.
the wind whispers unheard secrets.
birds nesting in trees nearby
sing to no one.
some windows, boarded up.
backyard window, smashed in.
the conditions are just about
the same on the inside.
moles galore on the ceilings.
raindrops trickle in
from apertures on the roof
during cloudburst.
some doors creek upon opening.
the walls have seen better days.
syringes litter here and there;
drug addicts have sought refuge here.
some faucets run brown gunk;
do not drink the water.
