Lichen Memory

The house never lived in breathes in silence.
Memory grows like lichen, slow and tenacious.
It clings to the walls, drawing lights upon the shadow.
Every frame holds a forgotten breath.
The doors remain ajar, witnesses to the invisible passage.
The windows smell of time, of dust and unspoken names.
Silence expands, the house becomes an archive of breaths.
I gather these stories that will never find a way out.
