PROJECT REBUILD


PREVIOUS TENANTS

Vancouver Special

questions surface amid abstracted city

sure, face shocked state, sense beyond 

look on top of wood, or elsewhere
or answers, or move to the east side

family beauty within reflection 
fit through the trees, beside grace

mortgage house sliced into beam
within land, because of forest

city outside, over there, else-
where, between look and image
