lyrics

tearing down the curtain i'd made from old bedsheets
it kept out the sunlight from my apothecary
for 4 years we lived here
never owners, just renters, but we made it our own

you are good at making cold spaces feel like home
while acknowledging the large oak stump on the side of the house
a tree that no longer lives on the side of the house
where i found reishi mushrooms

we had a friend visit not too long ago
he made the stump the site of his morning meditation
as sirens roared up and down OBT
because that's norm

a couple of blocks from here is an ambulance posting
i've spent many hours napping there
up at the wawa where they hand out free coffee
to those in uncomfortable uniforms

one christmas morning you asked me to open the blind
and much to my surprise
hanging above the stump a new cedar bird feeder
luring cardinals to me
making me feel just a little more free

for one long month i was gone on the other side of the world
30 hours of plane traveling
and when i returned i learned what our house really smells like
you never know 'les you've been gone awhile
and i liked it very much
like campfires, onions, aromatic plants, and such

goodbye to this house
the awful neighbors never knew they paid our waterbill
goodbye to this house
you were never ours but we made you our own
