Dwelling on Myself

I am the dwelling,
sometimes a hut, seldom a castle,
often  a house deconstructed,
walls removed, a wood floor taken up,
revealing the debris of a life,
mostly rat shit, I might add,
sometimes a treasure,
 a porcelain button,  a doll’s leg.

I spend too much time
dwelling on myself,
going room to room
dreaming  of paint 
and perfect furniture.
