Several small houses
Discreetly separated by foliage
And the night—
Maintaining their several identities
Several small houses
Discreetly separated by foliage
And the night—
Maintaining their several identities
By light
Which fills the inside of each—
Not as masses they stand
But as walls
Enclosing and excluding
Like shawls
About little old women—
What mystery hides within
What curiosity lurks without
One the other
Knows nothing about.
