we, too, fall slowly

we, too, fall slowly
into disrepair, as often
as we renovate,

replace parts, look into the

the kids back to school,
biding time for
a difference

some days, god –

stitches were

phrase rattling,
clanking, echoed
in other households.
in ours, silence
speaks steadfast

together follows the
procedure for
assembling most
dependable, long-

things –
tighten loosely,
and it won’t break
