this house keeps cracking


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
