House of dreams/and sorrows/of what we knew/looking out/the window eye lids/ yearning/for elsewhere/but we knew fat iris/violet blue/and tawny gold/we knew tiger lilies/spheres of purple rhododendron/the scented lilac tempting us at the top of the street/we knew summer/blew the loosening domestication/of roses/far away/we knew waiting for the seedling of change
