Don’t Ask Me Why, May 2021

A house can be a time capsule

That transports us

often

As over years

our memories

can sharpen

while some soften

 

But remembering what it was

that we cherished

way back when

Can be like a special visit

Reminiscing

with a friend

 

A friend

that knows our stories

Be it

on Christmas Day

Or sitting

while we’re singing

to the records as they play

 

knowing that

forever

And should we choose

At any time

We can walk through

every room and hall

if only

in our mind
