blue and white rug
on the hall door
Matisse cut out La Mer

Teddy and Noel’s early marriage
feels like i almost was there

first when they got married
they lived with his parents
while they found the field
and built the house
that her father designed

let’s call it Longshot

Grandpa Rip had a sort of breakdown
and started clawing at the walls
when the rendering didn’t set

fine white sandy
house icing
flecked with broken
sea shells
