A Hole in the House
There is a little hole in the house;
Here on the bed,
There on the chair.
There is a little hole in the house;
In the floor’s windowlight;
Before the winter fire.
There is a little hole in the house;
On the stair,
Soft foot thumping.
There is a little hole in the house;
Warm and rumbling,
Near my ear.
There is a little hole in the house;
Where the dogs worry,
And the children sigh.
