jo(hanna) (soundcloud) - our house was blue lyrics
when i think of home
i think of small things that once held absolutely no significance to me
i think of the big blue and white house that i grew up in
blue to keep the demons out
blue to cover the shutters that didn’t work
the house that we would never have been able to afford if it wasn’t for my grandparents who owned it
our yard that was never green
and the gardens we could never really grow
i think of the way it would never rain
but when it did it would roll down our driveway and form pools on the sidewalk
how when we first moved in i needed a stool in order to spit into the sink when i brushed my teeth
a room with fence above my door i would talk to at night just in case there actually was a ghost living up there
the break in the carpeted stairs that contained pictures of my and my mom and our dog who died just before i moved
and how in the autumn time i would leave my window open just so i could hear the crunchy leaves roll down the street
getting ready for school in the morning
and hearing grandpa struggle in the driveway so he could walk me to my 5th grade cl-ss
i was too embarr-ssed by 6th grade
and by 7th grade he stayed in the car
tuesdays and fridays i would spend at my grandparent’s house
it was always either chili or tortellini for dinner
jumping in the pool for the first time all year and getting out because my ears hurt from the cold
our pink kitchen and the crooked tile floors i slipped on when i was dancing in the kitchen after being in the house alone for the first time
the wasp catcher, hummingbird feeder and the chain-link divider that separated the people side from the dog side
roller-blading down the driveway
skateboarding down the driveway
trying to do a cartwheel down the driveway
the way the wind felt if you crawled out my window and sat on the roof watching the cars go by
sitting on the porch and looking at the sky
there’s nothing quite like the desert sunset
