Degrees

THEODORE ENSLIN

DEGREES

It is the same thing.

The talk I have-

later, the poem I send,

and then the

picture

of the actual thing

as I thumb through

this scrapbook.

Just that I see angles

buttressing the sills

which may (ifI go there

to see the house)

be less solid

splintering /

whispering dust

into the cellar.
