PROJECT REBUILD


PREVIOUS TENANTS

in cracks the foundation

If thickened

we could swim   easy backstroke
    float  home
       keep a hold

 unless you're very
deft 

 world's dried 
   pitched heat stroke


see its cracks 
  eyelashes  wept seepage

whose failure?
run from its drip to its drip             mould hushes

failure  roots in our gums            fails

mute.
