A house opens for business-
The crowding of silent customers
All those death shadows
Jockeying for position
Around the guest book.
Their wallets are full
of sand, grave-gris,
The carpenter’s tab still inscripted
On their shallow chests.
Waiting,
forgetting why they came
A prisoner in the half world
Hallways like memories,
Stairs into the ground.
