How to Build an American Home
If this house could stand
on one edge and beckon to the rest of the darker waves, as if to say, here.
A house on the edge is a house ready to unseam itself against the contour of
things unseen.

murmur and speak in all the unpredictable places: groans in the bathroom tile
cracks, creaks at the entryway shade. Heard from the other side, its noises
might carry particulates into inarticulable spaces.
