The Cornerstone of Strong Communities

The last house
          that was not a home
but a moan                          in an unlit night,

White walls
     polished mouse skulls
basement a swamp
     where the children          once played           -      
-          what use                pants without pockets?
-          what use                muted earth?
-          what use                populism of lies?\

The last house
          that was never a home
but a groan                     from settling right,

Cracked foundation...

     are they out of their minds

                         ...they'll never get what they're asking
