There is a home on a hill

Honey sunlight warms mahogany bones

 

The floorboards there are moons

Wax and wane with warmth and wind

 

Windows cast starlight in the daytime

Their panes coupling under weight of years

 

Open doors by toppled boots

Hold willow golden shadow-shine

 

Muddied paws and aching feet

Voyage home woodland memories

 

Come lie with me in empty rooms

We’ll fill them up with baited breath
