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.
