A house is just a building
by @PTH
Call me when
All that matters is
Empty pop bottles lined up
like toy soldiers
beads of summer rain slipping down the glass
Call me when
All that matters is
The garden bed dusted with snow
imprinted with little ticks of sparrows' feet
small enough to fit on postage stamps
Call me when
All that matters is
The chair in the living room
next to the blue bookcase
that houses all of the books by foreign authors
from places we always wanted to go
Call me when
This is home to you again.
