Brick by Brick

Brick by brick,

stone by stone

someone builds 

a house, but 

time and neglect 

wear it down

‘til we talk 

about its bones.

When life wears 

us down at an 

even faster pace, 

in a race to

the grave with 

hardly a wave,

longing to

find a home.

Goodbye brick. 

Goodbye stone.

Goodbye house.

Hello home.
