The house on third street—Chapter two: Forever inside

December, Almost Gone
The year is ending
without asking if I’m ready.
It folds itself away
like a letter I never finished writing—
corners bent,
ink smudged with things I didn’t say out loud.

The two of them sit on the porch
basking in the sunlight
letting their toes explore the first
frost-bitten mud of spring
Talking about life and death and sex
and little Mika's school play
