The spirit stays

Kitchen tongue tingles from the bug spray rain
Golden cobwebs on shimmering silica ceiling stars
Square linoleum tiles cover over well walked floors
Cracked plaster as the house shifts underweight
Original caramel wainscoting, doors and molding
Simple antique locks of brass verdigris keep watch
This is our tenemant home, urban and near perfect
But vsitors as many families raised and past prior
The spirit stays where love and heartbreak dwelled
We too will exist in the deep marrow of time here
Looking on in support of that struggle to survive
