The Tenth House
Ode to October in 31 Lines
Little houses made of boxes
On a roadside in a valley
Empty valley near the mountains
Twelve houses in a row
You arrive the 10th house
Made of earth, petrichor, and spice
This home is temporary
This home is quite nice
Little houses made of boxes
On a roadside under stars
Empty valley near the mountains
Tenth house a bungalow
Sunlight through the windows
Shadowed patterns through the dust
The home has a basement
Dark basement creepy musk
Little houses made of boxes
Where black cats meet to rally
Empty valley near the mountains
Tenth house topped with a crow
When the end comes quite brisk,
kids, smile big and smile sweet
The time has now come
To move down the street
Little houses made of boxes
Full moonshine through the alley
Empty valley near the mountains
Eleventh house you’ll soon go
Empty valley near the mountains
Twelve boxes in a row
Cycle never ending, a comfortable flow
