verses upon the burning of our house

—after Anne Bradstreet

i.
no i didn’t look for sorrow
grown silent in the kitchen

ii.
i told you we dwelled
to one side of ourselves

iii.
do you know what it is
to be overcome

iv.
i took direction from
the crack in the tub

(you know the one)

v.
i revived the stopped press
i’ll mind my ghosts

vi.
yes
i lit the match
