What is not worth doing over-
dress hem catching the cabinet,
low noises in the stairwell,
unloved house in the country.

What we say, really, in the close light-
parting the weeds between your eyes,
nailed to the back of your chair,
rewrite your journals to say
I have dreamed of you.

Because the frame around this picture
outdoes the picture,
the guests are directed out the door.
The world is the world
is the turn of an arm-

These mistakes, put together, mean everything.
