Autobiography by Edwin Brock

AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Draw three sides

of a square

cap it with

an inverted vee

call it a house

imagine the house

inhabited

call it a home

pin this picture

to a wall

travel by the sea

throw stones

for dogs

eat sleep

arrange things

until

quietly by the sea

the dogs

die

and the stones

have gone

then travel

inland

to three sides

of a square

capped with

an inverted vee

imagine it

inhabited

and arrive
