Window Pains by Heidi Mordhorst
Response
To ash the hands who built the frame
to dust the hands who hung the drape
which taking pains to hammer nails
and taking pains to stitch and so
Painstaking made a house and home
to hold the combs and loaves and soap
that close and fill all cracks and holes
but open doors just out of sight
Blew the weather in and out
wore the boards and warped the house
how time and climate tore it down
the cloth to rags uncovering
Glass the last to fall holds in
panes taking gray gone finger prints
pressing through the house’s skin
a spirit of the hands intact
