this house keeps cracking
ground underneath
moving and
sinking
pulling at
walls and floors
until
snaky fissures
separate
drywall and paint
plying apart
what was
together
journey in through opening
traverse along tiny caves
exploring
studs and beams
and then
down
between styrofoam and cement
until you get under floor in the gravel and muck and
push up
with all your might aligning corners
leveling layers of heated home
and we can watch and
hear a house
set to rights
