Wood-paneled room omen



Then the rooms called upon us
constantly in the dark [they're cemeteries] 
and they'll devour the palaces of Jerusalem
with their parting words of consolation
carousing their way to other dwellings

I've come to learn
how very common it was
for russians to walk into
frozen lakes in winter
they'd walk in 
and disappear in winter
only to resurface
and reappear by summer

There was only her heart
like a rabbit and this terrible hurt

Through the room there was
a quiet murmur of agreement

The words swelled in him
the rain continued gray

and bitter and cold
in rigid silence
