In the house 

is 

space 

and objects 

on the shelf

and furniture placed


but 

mostly space 


as if 

each object 

was a pointer 

to that 

which held 

it

safe


as if 

subtle space 

had traded place 

with form 


to be 

the 

more important 

thing 


and that 

which calls

attention

to 

itself 


allowing 

all 

the stands proud 


to find its home.
