House hunting can really have some crazy effects on you. This house that we looked at had this car that had been sitting for a very long time. From what we knew about the owners and the energy in the garage it sent my mind into a tizzy. So I had to put it to paper as soon as I got home. It was this old car in the garage up on cinders, it was a very strong image burned into my mind. So go ahead and give it a read. Enjoy!

That is where the old car sits

Up on cinder blocks

Sitting the same way it has been

Since the day he died

Dust collected

Covered throughout

Smudged windows

Locked doors

Not one things has moved

Maybe it is better that way

–

Conversations happened late at night

When the world slowed down

Back in ’85

When times were easy and happy

Life happened since those days

It just does not seem right anymore

Days passed

Slugging slowly over shoulders weathered

In time she had to move out

No longer are the streets what they used to be

Safety gone

Changes made

She heard about the robbery down the road

Had to move out

It occurred in such a hurry

Still takes care of the place on Sundays

Sell it and getaway

–

My eyes wander back

To the car on blocks

Sitting since the day he passed away
