I love old houses. I love imagining the trees
and plants that grew
long lives, used to grow the house, it's timbers
and
cotton curtains and oils and all.
I love imaging all those whose lives spent time
in the old houses.
Nights of sleep and lovemaking and awakenings
and
childbirths and deaths.
In our homes, we have so many beginnings and tragedies
In our homes, we have so many beginnings and tragedies
and then wondrous quiet small mornings,
looking out the back door
into the river's blown by mist.
The evolution of homes is quite something , sometimes shifting
The evolution of homes is quite something , sometimes shifting
from one family to multigenerational to something like this,
the old Food Bank Farm, now home to so many cars and people ,
and at least one
brilliant generous good man.
