Pantoum: this house
In this cold we weather it,
a storm brewing outside,
threatening these sturdy walls,
foundations long rooted down.
A storm is brewing inside,
the cracks have already begun
in foundations long rooted down,
like spider webs creeping out.
The cracks have already begun,
there is no truce to be had with time,
dusty spider webs creeping out.
It casts blow after blow.
There is no truce to be had with time,
threatening these once sturdy walls.
It casts blow after blow,
but in this cold we will weather it.
