SOME INSTRUCTIONS


If any there are who come after us
There is a large pile of clean days
In the cupboard near the stairs.
Some are new; the old ones will need  
To be scraped free of events and made whole
Where the mice have gotten to them. 
The Sun is stowed in the attic; you'll find matches 
Next to the fireplace. There is a moon
Wrapped in paper in the pantry and another
In the barn, tucked beneath the straw.
