how is the wind
in the shelves?
she asks the empty room
the wood cracks in response
autumn leaves rustle
the trees bend under pressure
a change in the weather
it’s as if the house breathes
the walls parting lips as if
to say
something
and then changing their minds
a pause
seagulls screeching in the distance
how did the wind
crack the ceiling?
she asks the black lines
criss-crossing the height
they breathe in unison
now
her
and the room
