pump
practical simile for the home maker 
like a house heart 
and under
our store of storm
our everywhere-well
how anciently the roof gave here
tank is hands-cupped concrete 
and other lands don’t know
here sky’s collected
here now spent 
washed in it 
hands, hair, ears behind
our baptism 
comes round a corner 
gravity defied 
that’s pipe, it might be snake-bite
tank is like coin in the bank 
holds thing like nothing 
like air 
and just as moist at times
like in the system kicks in 
you’ll hear the start 
then pump is our teller
tickles round 
rain like an arrow 
mostly mild 
a message goes unread 
come green 
and up
pump circulates 
some stuff
it’s chuckle 
for its own joke 
behind the wall 
taps! 
the source is where we say
and where we will it’s run away
and did I mention pipe?
how hum 
and all these several stops 
voice of the pump
isn’t a rodent run in the wall 
scratch of the unknown roof bird 
tanker is a last resort 
foul town expensive stuff 
my reader mainly drinks
roof is all collecting 
hears everything the sun says too 
the city will never know
magic of how our water’s here 
how a sky’s run through us
end to end
we’re made of mist
tree is dripping over 
cloud is almost passed 
it’s thunder in the hollow we hold
night, day 
frog wants in 
but lid is on 
web tries out the rain 
one thing is another 
we’re always led to believe
like is
like I say 
that’s where the source is
