The wall got thinner
Just before dinner
On a Pacific Northwest
Comfort food evening
Biscuits baked
Slathered with butter
Iron oxide and
Raspberry jam
Dozing in the damp blankets
Hiss of the ocean below
Pagoda house corner
Precariously perched on the edge
Corner protruding and
Prodding the crumbling of the ledge
Bought a parcel of land
Set the foundations on sand
Mr. Mitchell has been forced to sell
