The Old House

The old house, with rectangular windows
Is empty
No one lives there now
No one has lived there for a very long time

The house is empty
The long time is empty
Death, the long time of death
The long, long time of death, is empty

There are no chintz curtains
Or modernist abstract paintings
All that you have you take with you
All that you have your friends give you

All that you have lives with you
Inside and outside
Your rectangular windows
Inside and outside your old houses

Rectangular windows
Inside and outside
Of your long time
Your long time, of death, and of dying
