  Take Home

Straw broom sweeps vacant footsteps, an

Old sentinel long perched at locked door.

Dust whispers ‘round curtain-less windows,

Weeds seam green the cracks on walk-floor.

Echoes shared solely by house mice,

Linger lonely their memory tunes.

No photos, no footsteps, no voices

Claim, thirty-two years this was home.

Thirty-two years at the junction,

Two stellar sons travel ‘lone.

Fine friends smile their well wishes

Fine smiles echo back this was home.
