the house is back

for the dreambook  

 

you dreamt it here

and just as it was

 

she is pottering

garden inward

 

they’re here too

on the driveway

 

there’s a conversation

there’s something new hung inside

 

it doesn’t matter about time

no one thinks of that

 

it’s the old house

the house as was

 

before it was sold

before the strangers

 

what they did

had to do undo

 

still here

there’s a part of you

 

reasons it out

impatient for the day of tasks

 

sometimes you won’t even see

you’re in the other place now

 

it doesn’t matter

let it go

 

barely light when you remember

how it is

 

we are

as if the day were put aside

 

the same sandstone birds

as far from sleep as ever

 

writing in the dark

on the open page

 

writing over all

that was before

 

so we might find it here

like this

 

a penance to have dreamt
