The sufficiently rusty screw
    refuses maintenance
        having turned in the last length
            of spectacular sleep.

A horde of old fasteners
    holds taut a brittle house
        shingling and jingling on the agenda
            of the aging wind.

It's a little misunderstanding 
    that sees past silver
        calve a second self
            off the shelf

                into continental
                    contentious
                        divide.
