Cottage Valentine

I will have to get
down on my hands and knees
to reach all the dust
under the old wardrobe
I will have to get
up on a ladder
to scrape the grime
from the high windows
I will have to get
help to rebuild
the northwest corner
of the crumbling foundation
of the dim cottage of memory
out there on the abandoned road
lilacs coming up through the floor
