 *

this house holds
a pocket of sorrow

it leaks through the cracks
in the plaster walls
like sap through the bark of a tree

a bittersweet scent
infuses the air
incense of secrets
and grief

*

a patter of days
more leak than shower

where the fury
of thunder and wind?
rain so thick
it stops the breath?

*

when is the final chapter?
death too far
this story too long
the plot-line thin and flat

where the intimate intricacies?
the wound in the heart?
the hidden corpse?
assignations in the woods?

the dark & stormy night?
