On a Drive
The Houses space apart
After a Stop sign to this street;
With Nightmares on the lawn
Where the Maple trees grow tall.
Small critters travel through
Birds flitter in their turn
You drove passed once and noticed
One House more than the others.
Its driveway slightly cracked,
But no need for new repairs.
Nothing was inviting you
Past the few Porch walkway stairs.
The windows looking down
Saw straight into your face;
The House is not abandoned
But there is no sign of life.
Behind is fence and gateway.
Briefly passing bye,
You remember in a dreamscape
Some lone House along your drive.
