fair-skinned as a general rule, people ought not to cause the destruction of others. we have the right to conduct our own, peacefully. one should not imply that others are causing one's destruction when it is oneself that naturally does so. keeping in mind that there are only two general purposes: to resolve old issues and to start something new. 031209

tender_square the inside was gutted, stripped back to studs;
skeletal brace of our bodies unsplintered.
good bones for building. and we do:
“historical house of dreams gets facelift.”

wind and water wore us, chapped
grandiose marble. intervening years
of vacancy brought dust, the gradual
accumulation of debris from falling
apart. but i am not afraid to get my hands dirty.
my knees won’t shake when climbing scaffolds now
to paint masterpiece murals on your eyelids,
so long as you’re with me, unspooling
plans you’ve drafted on sawhorse tables.
