STILL

 still life from active life:

the toys on the floor, the desks of piles, 

dishes fill the sink,

steps covered with mud and leaves,

layers of clothes on the hooks.

is the house too small or 

have your belongings multiplied

like the people?

who belongs to who?

chests heavy with grief, still walking around,

still breathing, still making stuff and yelling

you want more 

with nowhere to put it.
