ahh the end
newspaper clippings
and stacks and stacks
of
boxes
filled with the seeds
of the trees outside the house

I might need those
I might need those
I need those

check the light switch
did you?
check it again

in the basement are the
ceramics
under sawdust
rat poop
and wood scraps

dig and clean wash and sneeze
can you smell the photo chemistry
and the stacks of photos
she was a professional photographer
for a few years

before the baby
