in the pre-dawn light
I converse with the house
born in the same year
we compare old lady woes
sagging arches
worn out knees and other joints
we creak and groan
in a harmony one can only know
through a long association
I have worn this house well
owing her upkeep in exchange
for her shelter
does she have fingers that ache
with the onset of winter
