Home + Violence

Against my house I choose Violence
Not the soft unseen until the aftermath
Claw hammers and sawzalls
Keeping no trophies
Pieces in black plastic garbage bags
Evoking gore in every room
Sheeted plastic from ceiling to floor
Nothing muffles the grunts
After great acts of violence
After all acts of violence
The rebuild is the hard part
Assembling new from the old
Functioning fixtures of a home
that once was
