House Hunting

Interior Shopping

by Jewell Hermann

Bounce, bounce Little big ball on concrete back in to hand

down and bounce back

 

Can we do that 

 

I've been bouncing from hand to slab, hand to slab, hand to new hand

When will I land in to a place to call home

A place to plant, a place to grow

A place to stand and think of far reaching plans 

 

Drive, drive to houses, nice

Fixer uppers, private lake, crowded lots

finished and unfinished basements and houses

 

Forests and fields

Swamps and hills and then another  

 

Move all our stuff we got to another house that ain’t our own 

 

Pops been bouncing from job to job 

Always someone does something says something 

 

We've been bouncing from house to house some long some short  to live or to look, shopping online, reading pages attached to spines searching for home 

 

Bounce bounce, exterior garage light comes on, solid rubber ball now makes shadows on cement as do two kids, wanting some place to

Call home.

Constructive criticism highly appreciated, Positive comments are nice, but that's not all I want to see.

luckily my family has found a home that we have been living in for over 5 years.
Thanks for reading.
