Came Of It

moving forward

useless –

in need of help

–

 went to work

and kept on

til nothing much

came of it.

Does Not Return

Home is another way of saying

faucets drip

after being turned off,

coffee dregs are good for gardens

and the underside of pillows

live in constant state of autumn

with cool fallen down

away from warm drool

released when sleep

needed soliloquy

-hollow-                               for the walls.

The edges are smooth and joined

but slip in seasons moving

The house is Pygmalion to a hundred

hands

and does not return desire

to renter.
