we waged war against black mold
and the ferocious spores
in order to win our fight
we shredded our house until all lay scattered
and the experts did their job
in the nature of reconstruction
we underwent the process of purging
and left undid all that was not worth saving
in the nature of purgitation
we found those things that had been purposely lost
and did our best to hide them again
in the house that we live
we have seen a reckoning
and breathe easy breaths
in the house that they built
we smoke decade old cigars
and listen to dusty firecrackers pop
