Memories From The Family House Poem by DOMINIC PREMPEH

Anytime
I
Enter
This house…

Memories
Engulf
My
Mind

This house
Hmm!
This house
Brings memories

This very place
Where mummy laid
When she was ill
And couldn't stand

That far end
Where she finally gave in
When she was being
Bathed

And that veranda
Accepted her
Laying in public
And all of us cried around her

This place brings memories
This place brings tears
This place scares
This place is my family house
