The House Creaks

Sudden sounds when all is quiet…

“The House Creaks” (Photo by Author, © Todd B Harrington)

The House Creaks

Sudden sounds when all is quiet In the dark before sunrise While the world sleeps The house creaks

What is it? Where was that? Quiet once again Then the house creaks, again

No warning No notice Some hard to notice Quiet once again

Is someone there? What was that? A shadow passes by In the corner of my eye

Who was that? Was that a creak? Scent of sage drifting by The light in the corner briefly flickers

Oh, and the thump Then a bump Quiet once again Then the house creaks…again
