Moving house

moving house
my home slowly reincarnates
inhabited
less haunted 

furniture
and pictures
migrate easily

the christmas decorations
pale in the february light
the ghosts of christmases past present

​

​fossilised hiking equipment
to be left behind
communing with nature
was only ever
a monologue
unanswered
​
tools acquired
over the years
some useful
some deeply mysterious
the 30-piece wood carving set

toys and clothes
releasing their grip

and finally the keys
