In That House



In That House
". . . any room was full       
of such choreography . . ."
~ Michael Ondaatje
each of the chambers
of his heart
held a dance
his inner ear
a symphony
the optic nerve
told of roses
and rose windows
remembering that day
in that far away
when her eyes whispered
maybe

and still
after
the quick step
of all these
yesterdays
a waltzing
and that fox
still trotting
the way she does
in that house
full of the choreography
of whispered
yes



~ Ralph Murre
