A Small White House By Mark Jackley
|
May I, when I walk
out the door for good
know the peace of cool
walls and concrete basement
floor, of empty rooms
silent as a corner
spider weaving something
fine and silver, pulsing
in the slightest breeze,
a breath that comes and goes
through these darkened halls,
God knows why.
Mark Jackley is the author of two chapbooks, with a third, "Cracks and Slats," forthcoming from
Amsterdam Press. He lives in the Washington, DC, area and his poems have appeared in numerous journals.
