a new home

the mouse
finds its way in.
not unlike you,
he doesn't need much room.
the smallest
of cracks or holes
serve well
for entry.
he's quiet in his
walk.
not a squeak, not
a sound
he makes
as he escapes the cold,
the wind,
a life he once knew.
he finds
warmth
in the straw bed
of an attic he'll call
home. maybe a loved
one will
join him too.
