Beautiful things spring from the worst soil. A decade in this house The one I knew picked me Oh how I tried … And for a while, it was A place where our blended family grew to be And our girls blossomed Though the yard was never planted All the while you deteriorated Carelessly destroying roots And I finally hated you for it Once you were gone And my son returned from the desert We looked in the attic To find you ruined our own clan’s history And your perverted history revealed I learned more about you in that one ladder climb Than I ever knew married to you Still, ten years later It is home But not yours I am planted A perennial By Just L Written May 6, 2012 |
