Summary:
If you know you know if you don't you should

There’s ghost in her walls
Whistling hisses, cracks, and pops of radiators
Fire of a steam boiler warms the air
Uneven tongue and groove                                                      Grandma’s old area rug           Those creaky Mahogany doors
Cracks in the plaster
Smell of everything that came before

Seventeen coats of paint on every inch
Even the plugs and light switches
Wind chilling you from single pane windows
Knob and tube wiring
My brother hid his treasures

In a box under an old plank floor

Passed from family to family
The happiness and heartbreak
Whispered in your ear
Come on in blow the dust off     

 Open up and write something       In her book of lore
