Put a coat of paint on the marks that measured
three generations on a doorframe in the bedroom
Pull the blinds, scrub the dirt of forty winters
building fires out in the front room
I never noticed how it smelled
like eucalyptus and lemon oil
until it reeked of emptiness
I never noticed how the sunlight
cut so deep across the kitchen,
til all the wooden spoons were gone
It's on the market
Fifty years is up for sale
If the asking price is too high
I'm sure they'll cut a deal
But the memory comes with it though,
it's buried in the wood
I don't have the room,
or I'd take it if I could
I would take it if I could
Someone new
will paint the basement stairs
Fire-engine red
is not in style this year
Someone new will pull the boxwoods
from that unforgiving clay
It took them twenty years to grow
Get in the corners, clean the dog-hair
and stray puzzle pieces
from children long since grown
Dig up the flower pots,
put chrysanthemums outside
No one wants to buy
a lonely house in wintertime
It's on the market ...
