this old house

[jackshoegazer]

There is a certain
feeling I walk away with
more often than not
when I see the ruins of houses
and cabins and stores
and the abandoned home
with walls cracked and broken,
windows missing and
the porch door on one hinge
and a faded sign swinging,
knowing that at one point
someone built it and
loved it and lived it.

Now I understand why we bury our dead.
