my house




catatonic cats fight with gin and tonic rats,
spiders in the playroom with supersonic bats,
pretty little flowers are growing up the wall,
scintillating sawblades are lighting up the hall,
prayerbooks in the bathroom soaking up the mess,
dingos in the kitchen thinking that they're blessed
pregnant predators are acting in the attic
wine is in the cellar, acting malolactic
iron on the front stoop waiting for the rain
pillars on the back porch thinking that they're stained
leaves up on the rooftop baking in the sun,
earthworms in earth below searching for a gun.
