One-Story-Carport-Houses by Matthew Milia

One-story-carport-houses
Shining in their thawing
Shining in their dawning

One-story-carport-houses
Under water towers
Glistening Sylvan Lake powers

One-story-carport-houses
Yards are overflowing
Lilacs and the knowing

That our bodies
Made this season come
Made the children succumb

That our bodies
Made the white-washed town
And glacial lakes strewn all around

There’s winter
Left in the cold wind
But the sky is warm and thin

And our bodies made
One-story-carport-houses
