Life
is a blank canvas .
Celebrate
the colours you choose.

DECEASED ESTATE
( an old house laments )
I curse the immortality
of bricks and mortar.
Blinds half mast
downpipe tears.
My frail human puppies
how soon they perish.
Silent now
no echo's of life.
Save the pendulum's
still beating heart.
As time's to and fro
walks steadily on.
Articles.
The trappings of their journey.
motionless in their place.
Behind cupboard doors
the comforting smell of garments.
Soon to be cleared
for new pets await.
While I'll endure
the emptiness of auction.
Before the bustle
of strange new footsteps.
Safe beneath
the wing of my roofline.
I crave the sound
of laughter once more.
