a house unfinished

you make an
error in judgment.
you are
an inch
short on
this lumber,
in making
the cut.
how careless
you are in building
this house.
how twisted
and bent the nails
are.
unbalanced
are the floors,
the ceilings
sag.
the windows don't
close.
even the land
is uneven
as you stand at
the door.
the pasture
of weeds and rocks
saying
it all.
