to leave the house she needs an unwatched exit     she expects her house and her life to go on and on     inside change she finds the means of sameness     she practices maintenance until maintenance is all she can do     inside her house is the house that is her body     superstition of the supplements     superstition of the smile     superstition of balancing on one foot     liking today what she liked yesterday     deep drink of coffee lake water sometimes with a squeak she starts herself breathing again    she brushes her hair after years of letting it tangle     is she isolating or is she isolated     weeds dogged through the dry soil     through rocks     she cannot block all the entries into her house because there are entries that she will never find
