count our holes /
seven at last inventory /
want another on the birthday? /
one more way to drain the world /
not the big one /
that one won’t go away today /
but soon enough /
the smaller one /
reinforcing its borders daily /
glitter and police tape marking /
trees, property lines and morning address /
give more holes to those in need /
the light and colour /
should leave for everyone equally /
less for all /
pulling the day down /
through the knots /
in the floor boards
