For RDP Tuesday: Housework
Lee Morris -Worlds made in Midjourney
If I lived in a haunted house
and it was stuffed from the basement to the attic with restless spirits and wandering
ghosts, demons with an attitude and boxes of bones hidden in the walls
would I clean it?
Would I paint the rooms and hang curtains from the eyeless window frames?
Would the kitchen be cold or would it be warm? Would there be food in the
cupboards, plates and bowls and cups and saucers stacked neatly behind cabinet
doors?
Would there be meat in the freezer?
If I lived in a haunted house would I tend to the garden? Clean the dead leaves from
the fountain? Would I have a dog named Champ roaming the grounds?
Would I have a cat with no name that watched the birds and the mice pick
away at the corpses of my long dead fruit trees and flowers, shrubs and roses all day
long and far into the night?
If I lived in a haunted house and I invited your over for tea or pizza or maybe a dinner
by candlelight, would you accept my invitation or would you pretend you never got it
would you burn it? Shred it?
Would you dream about me living in a haunted houses
stuffed with bodies and bones and ghosts
and a dog named Champ and a cat with no name?
You would.
I'd bet your life on it.
