THE HOUSE

It grows larger,

wall after wall

sliding

on some miraculous arrangement

of panels,

blond and weightless

as balsa, making space

for windows, alcoves,

more rooms, stairways

and passages, all

bathed

in light, with here

and there the green

flower of a tree,

vines, streams

casually

breaking through —

what a change

from the cramped

room at the center

where I began, where I crouched

and was safe, but could hardly

breathe! Day after day

I labor at it;

night after night

I keep going —

I’m clearing new ground,

I’m lugging boards,

I’m measuring,

I’m hanging sheets of glass,

I’m nailing down the hardwoods,

the thresholds —

I’m hinging the doors —

once they are up they will lift

their easy latches, they will open

like wings.
