even a house with good bones

you know when it's time

to move,

when

there's a leak

you can't find,

when

the floor creaks, and

the furnace

no longer

churns

providing heat.

when the windows

let the air

in 

and the roof sags,

when

the handle on the door

won't turn

and the oven breaks.

it was a good house 

with good bones

for a long time,

but all things

must pass, and it's time

to move on.
