A House holds

Location

One Household, Characters alike in regard.

In fair, a place where accountancy lay.

From old alliances, break to new and discard

Where a family's trust leaves uncleanly

From fatal risk thyne eyes are taken

Whose misguided menstrations flow?

Where he now lay chained to his grudged fin

Fearful of his release, a fathers rage overflows.

For no end is there to a child's strife.

Now he shows, to which and where a loose cannon goes

Yet soothing words cut this rage like a knife

A sibling's grace steals this rage and consumes

 To a place they go, in a haven they left

Not a chance can this bond be eternally cleft
