Renovations

I stripped the paper from the walls today
And found the names I’d buried out of sight;
Each careful coat had kept the past at bay,
Until the cracks began to speak at night.

I took a hammer to the bolted door
And let the daylight settle on the grain;
The house had held its breath through every war,
Now even dust could learn to dance again.

I will not build a room without a seam,
Nor make a shrine of what I have outgrown;
Let crooked windows interrupt the dream
That I must turn my heart to polished stone.

Some things must fall before the walls can stand;
I draw the plans. The hammer’s in my hand.
