Dwelling on Myself



Dwelling on Myself

I am the dwelling.
Sometimes a hut, seldom a castle,
often a house under construction,
walls removed, a wood floor taken up,
revealing the debris of a life,
mostly rat shit, I might add.
Sometimes a treasure,
a porcelain button, a doll's leg.

Dwelling on myself.
I spend too much time
going room to room
dreaming about paint
and perfect furniture.

To leave this house is to die.
I understand that.
