Miller's House

In a letter to Emil

Henry Miller once

Imagined,

A few feet of earth for himself.

With a big single room

Built upon it.

Furnished with a stove

A water basin.

And a hugh desk with a bookcase

Near by and an easel.

He thought there he might have solitude

While the outside world may,

in sufficient fashion,

float in his life, through, out again.

And so I too wonder.

When God has created the new heaven

And the new earth.

Might I too have such a house as Miller?
