FOUND IN A HOUSE
Creeping Pink
...
in floats a sound
through fixed windows
new light on old things
found in a house
at the turn of a
phrase or century
time is lost like
the last clean note
before the end of play
Found In A House contains momentum, a condition of flux. A house in a constant state of transformation and repair. Like a house, it is never one thing, but many and serves many functions. It is a document. An album, a film, a performance, a diary, a gift, a drawing, a photograph, a letter. It is free. It is neither beginning nor end, but reflects the eternal expanse of the universe. It is the life instinct. The acts of maintenance and care. A commitment to domesticity. It is a child's thing. It is all the creator's accumulated wealth, a letter to my son.
hide in the big white barn
tall wind pink glow creep across
missing arm in the hay loft
a mystery, vanished violent
language turned to dust sieved
for the past.
‘No Pay Tax.’
‘No Communist.’
They rode horse back to the airport
where a man was shot and
killed in the parking lot
yet he slept fine, tucked
away from any hot or cold
war. No suicide note just
a postcard from a butterfly
boy.

There Is No Death, No Dying’
