my neighbour conceived a continent but I need a room for my guests a home for my mixed origins or simply a barrel to sleep in I need a place with discomforts with old-style corners: badly arranged draughty and incomplete, but real – something to grip between cellar and roof build me a rusty house against the dizzy myths of the field of blackbirds against the poppies of poperinge and the gold teeth of auschwitz against a prospect of mist and purity build me a difficult, painful house
