The builder

There, on the southern wall, above the opening

for the garage door, on the right, along the inside edge

of the outermost rafter, adjacent to where the eave 

awkwardly poses beside the rest of the structure and 

nails, like pictures, still-frame her best effort, 

are three superfluous bolts, embarrassed, 

as his hand, straining at the socket wrench,

muscles a nut into the wood's creaking protest.
