Dia Chatterjee - Your House

Tell me what use is a house without
A nook to store something like love
Or barren of tiny shelves on which to
Place a few emotions for safe-keeping
Without the window sills to catch the splash
Of rains on your innermost feelings

Tell me, what use is a house that has
A marked absence of parapets that are
Good reflection posts to peer at your soul
There’s not even a single attic to go and hide
When monsters from the past come hunting
No, it’s an absolutely empty, emotionless house

But then,
They say a house reflects the owner’s personality.
