A house called Nowhere

Maybe a declaration at the end of a walk
'the middle of nowhere'
Or a convenient name for a drinking den.
'going nowhere'
Or the inspiration for a song lyric
'Nowhere man'.

















Two houses and then one.
Out of sight from church and village.
The view to the front better than the one to the front.
Nowadays, perhaps, its inhabitants are eyeing the level of the river.
And like the rest of us watch it rise.
Coming from nowhere.
