Did he live here?
- Yes, on and off.
The door is locked.
The curtains hang motionless in the window.
A broken chair stands on the veranda and
weeds have moved onto the flower beds.
How long did he live here?
- All of his life.
The grass sways in the wind,
a willow warbler can be heard in the lilac arbour.
The bolt on the gate has rusted and won't keep it shut.
The man from the neighbouring house, who showed the way,
let it stay open.
- You've come too late, he left two years ago.
