The New House
Wasted days lounging late I hear them build
their house in our meadow over the wall....
Sad summer then autumn lost time has spilled,
without you, quick into that dismal, too small
box; the bare white rooms, the bright black door.
All wait for the new people, for fortune to fall
glad under the flaming ash, a familiar sycamore.
Come seek you keepers of our grave in the field,
where we buried a pet in a pine desk drawer,
unearth this proof of times awful harvest yield,
where I see the unglazed windows stare dark.
like the infinite sockets of a skull revealed
raw in winter light, then a memory still stark,
a spade in your hand, the dog's ghostly bark.

"There is really seldom such thing as breaking "new" ground is there? We people have been around so much we've left our imprints and graves almost everywhere. I think line 3 needs a bit more work in clarifying the intent…" -

"LEGACIES" by @Eumolpus
"Loved this very much; the last Stanza, ( especially the last four lines ) is beautiful. I thought of Whitman, a voice both intimate and universal and always heroic." -
