In this house

I try to contain

an ocean

the spinning of an entire Universe of stars

constant inaudible sounds – low and high
and all the sounds in between

a fury of movement and immovable structures

In this house

You are a little girl

You are ancient and eternal

You are light

You are sound

In this house

When you are away the small dog looks at the door all the time

And we do too
