There's Been a Death in The Opposite House

The Road Not Taken

Monsoon History

If

There's Been a Death in The
Opposite House

There's been a death in the opposite house
As lately as today.
I know it by a numb look
Such houses have always.

The neighbors rustle in and out,
The doctor drives away,
A window Opens like a pod,
Abrupt, mechanically;

Someboday flings a matterss out,
The children hurry by;
They wonder if it died on that,
I used to when a boy.

The minister goes stiffly in
As if the house were his,
And he owned all the mourners now,
And little boys besides;

And then the miliner, and the man
Of the appalling trade,
To take the measure of the house,
There'll be that dark parede

Of tassels and of coaches soon;
It's easy as a sign.
The intutition of the news
In just a country town
