Don't come into this house looking like that

Bow your fucking head

Stop touching yourself and worrying while you work

Respond, reply, relay, react, reappear

Stop giving up

Read, reread, rerere read, re re re re reread

Edit boldly

We're in the house, no you and I

We're a body in a house

And there was a party yesterday

We don't mind the mess, in fact we find you beautiful

We unfolded the laundry just before you got here

Carve out daily daylit time to edit

Edit everything

Unfold everything

Needles fall in a house

And in unison we need a mother

This house is not a mother

Unthreaded needles fall to the bottom of the house we live in

Our mother-less existence knits us together
