Doors in the ceilings, windows in the floors,
Stairs going nowhere, decoy bathrooms for
Confusing vengeful spirits not confused
Already by the racket, seventeen
Chimneys for forty-seven fireplaces,
Bats in the belfry, crowds of dead men howling
Out in the endless, God-blessed, skull-bedecked,
Blood-soaked dark American wilderness,
Out past ten thousand panes of pretty stained
Glass she tried in vain to hide behind,
A room festooned with gleaming rifles, one
Automatic electric elevator,
Gold chandeliers, and hand-made spider webs.
