No foundation

I wanted you,
trusted you then despised you;
I escaped, briefly
returning to you, new - who knew
a home by definition, then 
confirming what I once felt 
- no longer a memory of anxiety, these walls
scratched and smashed 
They know everything,
We know everything. 

A house with no foundation, stands 
and sinks - but the ground is sturdy;
basements are obsolete. 

How are there no mice? we'd ask
Skunks nesting underneath
