THE NEW HOUSE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: This house is new
Last Line: I am a stranger here.
Subject(s): Houses


This house is new.
Beneath this ample roof
Our needs are few.
The weatherstrip is proof
Against the season's argument...
Yet, I am not content.

This spacious hearth
Is not for loins
Attuned to a modest stove.
These shimmering drapes
And stainless walls
Can boast no fingerprint,
Nor hint
Of living within.
Hard, polished floors
Can bare no quickening memory
To cadences of little feet...

I am a stranger here.
