RDP Monday: GLUM
It is an empty house
on a dead end road
the empty house is
overgrown with weeds and sticker bushes and infested with bugs
that could give you a nasty bite and oozing rashes for weeks maybe months at a time.
It is an empty house
on a dead end road where
nobody ever heard wicked sly voices chanting and singing to them in the dark
of a sleepless night.
Nobody who lived or died in this empty house
ever swung an ax a their confused and bedeviled spouses
or had children with horns and too many fingers and tails.
Beautiful trees were
brutally chopped down
so that this empty house
where nothing exciting ever happened
could be called a home.
The empty house
on the Dead End Road
is now quietly falling to bits,
with no stories hidden inside of it’s walls
buried in it’s basement,
discarded down the well in it’s back yard.
It’s just an empty an lifeless house
at the end of a dead end road infested with bugs and thorns.
