Slippage.

To be self-ordered and create the ghostly answer."

Sweaters In Movies – What They Mean And Why They Matter.

"Bullets

Gardens lapsed to adders, castoff rakes.
Shed sagging, parched of paint. Around this
backwoods house, traps accumulate.
Weeds rope the steps and the door's warped,
bolts leadened like arthritic joints.
Cold. Both air and floors. Rugs bunched
with ankle-level cords. Even corners, damp
and whipslick tiled. Bulbs snap to shrapnel
in halls, conscripting brooms and ladders;
steel rungs slung against gravity.
The voice mail trills point-blank; a cartridge
storing angst in garbled catalogues.
Isolation is a gun old hands load, then pull
by basement stairs, forgotten stoves."
