Dream House
or it was in the chosen
stark supplanted dark
that I encountered
sequence of roofs, rain
sliding off—terraced
cyclamens—and deep
in the forest of values
I dissembled a gun
duration endured
intercepted plunder—
collusion of foliage
density squared and hot
chlorophyll poured
down storm's
garment and
body overtook me
