This trellis of anatomy
This carry-all
I portaged grudgingly
Across the evening
Is finally spent
And now thrown over and arranged
With loving care
Upon uneasy sheets
Each crooked piece is balanced
Tensely horizontal
Independent yet beholden
Of all its nearest kin
Afraid lest I disturb
This fragile truce
I lie awake and contemplate
The home I make
Among these tired bones.
