The absence may be accounted for
And counted out
In a language older than this.
Numbers like feathers, like sand,
Light on the 3 column pages,
Sift through the double lines.
A desert in my heart
Turning a man's labor,
His hours away from home,
Into bread and shingles.
The taxing business of living,
Of owning what cannot be taxed.
