wolf house was haunted by the profits made by a white man
\nselling stories not his own\u00a0even though the studio of this sprawling home
\nteemed with gifted artifacts and artworks<\/p>\n
I couldn’t touch a thing in there<\/p>\n
sage and deerskin and feathers and arrowheads
\nhandmade dolls and hand-strung jewelry
\npiled in disarray collecting dust<\/p>\n
he didn’t touch a thing there<\/p>\n
the day that I left the pool was dry and filled with sand
\nsome noodles and toys abandoned in the deep end
\nthis was the place where time stood still<\/p>\n
no one touched a thing here<\/p>\n
years had passed since family had gone but their shadows lingered
\nnothing moved an inch nothing moved at all
\nno moving on –\u00a0I watched\u00a0a brilliant mind turn cold and slow and frozen<\/p>\n
nothing can be touched here<\/p>\n
and nothing can be reached or changed
\nsolidified against the desert’s edge
\nthe only living soul was me<\/p>\n
something about here – touched me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
