inside this house. One
whitened. Someone
poured bleach,
said don't talk just make it
all clean but i know

The second room
is all red, blue, yellow

through the hinges.
Seeds sticking to the door,
spilled on the floor.

This is how it works then,
this creation.  One walks
from one room
to the other.
