Visiting An Empty House
I visited an empty house today
I found elephants with mirrors on its hide
And a dromedary with fluffy yarn
That raggedy Anne wore for hair
I asked if I could have the records
She had given me one year when I had
Turned six years old and had a bunk bed
And an electric ionizer next to
A terrarium with a newt that
I cared about but did not understand
Why her life was as important as mine.
