So Much of Worth! by James Longley


So much of worth gone into the upper
rooms the third story creaking around
where I bring milk cut under the tap
in the kitchen where the milkwater
draining in the basin below is heard
from the higher lead pipes and a gentle
clanking sent back like shaking your head
to mean ‘yes.’ So much tending to unroll
on the wood floors and snub the beds even
as the rooms grow cold and still colder and still
