The House
​The petals are dry.
And the house, right in front of me.
​My lungs come to a halt and the air churns,
about to choke me and make them burst;
my legs pretend to be strong, but they long to flee.
​She remains the same… or so I wish to believe.
Nostalgia has furrowed the walls.
​My pupils dilate as I observe the timber:
it is more aged than I.
I must admit her door never denied me entry,
yet now she looks as if my presence does not matter.
​Lifeless vestiges of an echoless yesterday.
​The absence of the magnolias is felt,
an absence of scents that are no longer there.
