House and I
Big house
quiet house
darkened house
shades and trellises drawn down
deafening silence inside
twitter and chirp of birds outside
somewhere an automobile squeals
a motorbike sputters by
white walls gaping back
television darkly staring vacuously
I rest my head back on the chair's headrest
close my eyes
a kaleidoscope of memories whirr
prayer bells ring
someone is offering puja
there is hope.
This house and I
we've grown intimate
to each other's smell.
