breathing house

By saltyman65

 

     Gusty, dusty baseboard cracks,
releasing breathy tumble weeds neath the bed,
jumping to dust to the unders of floor boards accumulet.
    
The talhouse sways amongst the trees;
                                                                 groaning,
                                                                                  leaning to tilt,
      Gripping third floor bathroom sill )))))))
               
                          not to fall
                                to
                                       sPLAter.
   
                                       A vague sea sickness
                                       governs the ride,
                                                                           rocking us
                                                                                    into
                                                                               an
                                                                                          unsettled 
                                                                               sleep.
