House, Year 3025

29 lines · 67 words · 1 min read

in 1000 years my house will be

a shuffle of bricks half asleep under a dune

thr front door will squeak only to echoes

a fridge still humming without meaning

stairs leading to nothing but pause

the sofa growing moss and jokes

the bathroom mirror showing faces that wink

neighbours? just snails with paperwork

and yet— and postman arrives every millennium late

with one letter: address unknown.
