Ruins Poem by Barry Middleton

Ruins



the past is a ruin
we cannot return
the land is bramble
a sunken farm house

a house can be rebuilt
but not the same house
not childhood's house
the past is a lost ruin

mistakes and regret
fashion the rubble
like random bricks
from fallen chimneys

odd dreams tease
rooms near forgotten
even in my sleep
I cannot find home
