The House That Breathes: A Haiku of Memory and Haunting
Walls inhale at night, Whispers bloom where hearts once beat— It knows I’m still here. Analytical Reflection Have you ever felt a space remember you, long after you left?

By personifying the house, the haiku blurs the line between animate and inanimate, suggesting that memory and emotion persist independently of life. This interpretation not only conveys a sense of eerie intimacy but also invites consideration of cultural and psychological understandings of haunting — how architecture itself can reflect collective human experience.
