house poem

i was thinking about the time when i found out
we had to sell our house
and that my dad bought another house that was being moved
from the block of my elementary school
to the edge of town on a truck or multiple trucks
i didn't actually see them move the house.

but there it was just sitting on the grass near train tracks
where trains would park late at night
assuming no drunk ass kid is going to want to drive down that road
to get home
at whenever

that first night when we went there before anything was moved in
and we watched FROM HELL and we kissed a little
but you left and i was alone and scared and i locked all the doors
