                 The Apartment

          Yesterday, we found it.
                   VACANT
          behind a brace of locks.
                   Unadorned,
except for cobwebs and crumblimg walls.
               Bare...and yet not barren.
Sunlight sifted across hardwood floors
beneath a sheath of dust, stirred by our steps into storms.
Repeating our conversations simultaneously,
        a spectre's sense of humor.
                  We took it,
     complete with cracks and crust..
A commitment to our cat-off castle          
                   and to us.
