A House
"The Props assist the House
Until the House is built
And then the Props withdraw
And adequate, erect,
The House support itself
And cease to recollect
The Auger and the Carpenter -
Just such a retrospect
Hath the perfected Life -
A past of Plank and Nail
And slowness- then the Scaffolds drop
Affirming it a Soul"
Emily Dickinson
Woke up to fat, watery snowflakes.
Could not see far at all.
Found some color here.
Loved the Red of the door,
The Pillars and the warm tone
of the walls. To me this seems
a house with a soul.
