House At Full Tilt
By Susan Isla Tepper
This is the house where
we say goodbye
It wishes us to leave
in the worst possible way
It begs us to stay
Finish what we came
here to do
Advising
by demonstration
Paint sliding off walls
colored puddles we tiptoe
To the point of extremity
Electricity cut
at a moment’s notice
Bringing it back
Putting the house at
full tilt
Confusion is paramount
Showing quite clearly
its reason for being
Our house
