malign green pushes
violet rays into red
hair rumbles, curls, points.

I want to visit the house in the woods with dog hair, wood stair, timber flare .
I want to hear the house in the woods with cat purrs, pump whirs, cook stirs.
I want to hold the house in the woods upon my lap; caress tots, swing mops, arrange pots.
I want to care for the house in the woods, for the family there, the wind everywhere, the pond, the woods, the air.
