Housework
written by: Robert Allen
We pulled stones
from their places
leaving spaces
where no love stayed
We tore beams
from the ceiling
We pulled passion
from under the floorboards
The house crumbled
and fell like someone
shot in the heart
Be it ever so humbled
there is no place
Robert Allen lives in Oakland, CA with his family where he writes poems and coaches poets to be better in their craft.
