Spirit Checking
My childhood home
hums like a low dial tone.
The living room
died with the TV on.
Your easy chair
looks worn out from long nights.
The very air
smells rank with holed up mice.
Spirit Checking
My childhood home-
no longer full of sounds.
The living room
feels unfamiliar now.
Your easy chair
looks worn out from long nights.
Stale, musty air
that smells of hidden mice.
Spirit Checking
My childhood home
no longer makes a sound.
The living room
feels cold and lifeless now.
Your easy chair
looks worn out from long nights.
Stale, musty air
that smells of hidden mice.
