old house
seemed as if my grandmother
mother,
father
and
my immediate family
all lived there
in my mind
I placed
everyone
in their proper sleeping room
then
I wander
to a wing
of the house
not used
into a dining room
filled with
beautiful furniture
glassware
chandelier
it seemed
the same room
as the ballroom
I did not belong
passed on through
to a porch
and
openness.
