FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

the body is the house
fronting the street where people pass by
some consider it a temple of the
Holy Spirit

it has a door, four windows, a bed,
a kitchen
etc.
where is its heart? in the kitchen?
is the heart a bowl of soup?
where is the libido of this house?
could be in the garage where old cars
and some unused tools are kept
where is the love of this house?
all the children have left a long time ago
and they have their own lives now
at the tips of their sex organs
has anyone remembered the death
anniversary of this house?
do you have a candle and a daisy
and a match?
will you burn this house now? it serves no
purpose at all.
the people who pass the road beside it
cannot even recall the name of the owner anymore.
