I say enough is enough
and I get it this time
the house rises three stories we call it a castle
where lawn bedecked the soils now flower beds and veg for the neighbors
and benches and paths and outbuildings oh
and a second stouter house
this
and I can sometimes still find myself searching out a dream on zillow
as if the things in my hands did not add up to so much and a lack
or necessity still awaited my discover
or acquisition
and yet I have the things it takes to make not just what is
but what could be
I call this potential
the ability to look into something and see something
there
I do this today
knowing its presence
as if already
enough
