Colorless windows
peer out of a house
in search of a lust-drawn object
such as a hoe,
that sits in the garden.
The house absorbs its venom
and changes directions
moaning with the shift in weight
to find a more
reasonable object,
of comfortability.
Its eyes (or means of eyes) rest upon
a nesting bird in a tree,
and take in the old tree itself-
torn bark and all.
The object is without enough life
to support the house
and remains
a senseless object.
And at this, the tree stops
(as it does everyday)
for its boundaries are limited
and all the great green grass
that lies in front of it
will never be enough
to satisfy
the hunger
DOuble meaning?
excellent line. i may steal it sometime.
