oh, place of my dreaming /
filtering water through the bed next door /
cooling squared off ft of air /
with frost excavated in the neighbour’s kitchen /
applying young fat to shine brass for the Sunday photo /
plugging drafts with local bonds /
to stop up a measure of vernacular /
placing a mark on each crib with a notary’s stamp /
in a language that made the lists ordering the world /
for delivery
