from The Good House
The good houses the parts, calls to
them, & wakens--
in being, the house we will, its precepts
lumber the stilling male--
opulence isn't allowed, so to
form is to erase what's not
gradual & new -- a specific
love to focus the elements
when we lock the door
things float around awhile,
climax, & rest
in the new sense
---------
The good part of the house
is where something leaves
alone the light that it lattice
the red, souring, hoarse
needs made by no
other -- safety depends in
them--
so knowing strength
so knowing weakness
this is where we will, & home
