New Windows



New windows in the old neighborhood

within a system of long held walls.

The wind is high today,

I realize that no structure is sound,

no ideal unwreakable.

The new house is going up, for now

the sky is its ceiling. The partitioned rooms

resound with April's apple blossoms.

There is a tentative conversation going on.

It feels familiar, and yet adrift,

dreamy, as if walking into the past

where the future has been stacked like 2by6 boards.
