The New House
Wasted days lounging late I hear them build
their house in our meadow over the wall....
Sad summer then autumn lost time has spilled,
without you, quick into that dismal, too small
box; the bare white rooms, the bright black door.
All wait for the new people, for fortune to fall
glad under the flaming ash, a familiar sycamore.
Come seek you keepers of our grave in the field,
where we buried a pet in a pine desk drawer,
unearth this proof of times awful harvest yield,
where I see the unglazed windows stare dark.
like the infinite sockets of a skull revealed
raw in winter light, then a memory still stark,
a spade in your hand, the dog's ghostly bark.
