Tier

 

 
An erroneous flashback
builds the first step

of what becomes
the centerpiece of the entrance hall

in your house’s home.  Your base perception,
a holy ring inviolate.

Some days, you wake wondering
why you feel constricted,

but the busy takes the day
and soon you can’t recall.

This, too, becomes a tier
under which you’ve buried something

you know,
but don’t know what.
