live in a house a long time
and it becomes as comfortable
as a pair of jeans
slightly worn at the knees
pockets molded to your collections
a faded blue only time can create
which is why it’s hard to move
from a home to a house
so much twisting and turning
to your bending and stretching
an uncomfortable stiffness at first
until it softens enough
for you to slip in and out
effortlessly
