This white wall


This white wall
Has so many coats
The heart put in
Doesn't seem worth
What's lost underneath

When the night bulb
Crawls across its
Lime parched web
A scraping of bones
Is heard in passing

That bitch in the yard
Needs another hollow
To hide its yelps
When the tree
Of heaven
Cracks
