House

Store-bought thoughts haunt me. 
My stick-figured skeleton suspends up the stairs. 
I zig-zag through retired toys. 
The day was counted in bird chirp battles, 
and the creaky floorboards play along. 
Every nook and cranny noise see-saws in my ears. 
The mind wanders like dust-specs in the afternoon sun. 
If only the birds would speak in words. 
I die in the house.
