That House

I have no fireplace.
Nor a stove.
(I live in an apartment from the early seventies now.)
But I had when I grew up.
And I had in the nineties
when I lived in a white cottage
on the coast.
One can have much in life,
but not all at the same time.
I hope to have a fireplace again sometime.
Somewhere...

When my mother wanted to make it extra cosy for us, she used to lit this lamp :-)
