A House, Unfurnished

vulnerability takes courage

otherwise, it is a house, unfurnished

the walls are bare,

there's not a chair

the floors tempt

and and won't relent

their call dismisses question

because in their expression

they cry out feverishly, with no companions

visually, they are abandoned

it is courage that ends this gloom

it leaks light in the kitchen, the hall, the bathroom

a chair without a place to be

you find to be debris

but in a deep partnership

they hold hands in a tight grip

two sides of a coin

and yet, they are joined

this relationship unknown

can now be truly shown

for, what once was an empty residence

is now emerced in elegance
