Sleeping House

This is a sleeping house
even the birds
have moved away
At night
when the winds roar
you peer out the window
and not a branch is stirring
You begin to question
the morality driving
such a scenario
afraid it’s for real
Yet also afraid you’ve reached
some darkness
hovering for a long time
finally catching up with you.
