602

up the stairs
in two unfinished houses
beams and glass
a rough structure
we were teenagers

the family had a soaking tub
in the upstairs bathroom
a sunroom facing a pond

it was cold

one time

hot
the other

in my dreams
all the houses are skeletons
I have a wet nurse
she sticks around
I speak and pull at pages
telling her
it’s okay
you can go
