A House Is Not a Home

A 
house 
is 
not 
a 
home
it 
is 
but 
my 
rest 
ground
when 
the 
suns 
heat 
rains 
on 
my 
skin
and 
the 
light 
of 
night 
envelopes 
my 
eye
i 
return 
to 
meet 
the 
gloom 
of 
my 
house

but 
my 
home 
was 
warm
the 
smiling 
faces
the 
noise 
of 
wrinkled 
ages
and 
the 
tales 
they 
told
they 
bring 
life 
to 
my 
home 
in 
their 
aging 
faces

but 
my 
house
and 
it's 
coldness
just 
enough 
to 
keep 
me 
warm 
till 
dawn
i 
am 
not 
proud 
of 
this 
address
the 
silence 
that 
trails 
the 
street
and 
the 
smiles 
that 
were 
never 
returned
i 
barely 
know 
my 
neighbour
but 
who 
cares?
Not 
he
 not 
I

this 
house 
can't 
be 
my 
home.
I 
must 
make 
haste 
and 
pass 
the 
night
and 
maybe 
other 
nights 
to 
come
until 
i 
find 
my 
home
