                                                   "Odd how families
live in houses.  At first a lot marked out with string.
Then levels, rooms that lift it off the ground,
arrange it, then inside that intricate dance
of need and habit and routine.  Children's crayon drawings
on the wall.  Messages on the refrigerator.  Or altars
for the household gods.  At night the dreaming bodies,
little gene pool echoes passing back and forth among them,
earlobe, the lap of an eyelid, and the dreams."
