Weeping Tiles (D.Dagenais)
Flies in the sugar bowl, bees in the jam. Screen door hanging by a hinge
And the pipes are full of sand but there’s a light on in the kitchen
There’s a coffee and a nook with a chair to rest your bones in
For your hat there is a hook
Home is where the heart resides. It’s not the roof it’s not the size
not the windows not the doors, not the ceilings not the floor
it’s the weeping tiles
hole in the window where the rain comes in and all the walls still groan in the wind
but it’s dry down in the basement and it’s warm on every floor
and nothing’s moving this foundation the rest is nothing less or more
and there’s no crack in this concrete and the cellar doesn’t leak
so all those rains will move around us directed by the pipes and
the weeping tiles
