Her Floating House

By Stella Story

Her house floated up

Up, up into the blue

She was inside the house

With her husband

And her cats

They didn’t realize that they were no longer where I was

On the ground

They were still rocking in their chairs

Back and forth, back and forth

Inside their ancient house

With it’s paint chipping away

Their clothes still out on the line

She was reading a book

Little Women

And he was whittling

Up, up went the house

The house She had lived in all her life

Up, Up, Up they went

So far that no one could see them anymore

“George Dear, Where is the floor?”
