“Satis House” – Launce Reed Barber

Possessor possessed by that in which he names

Craving for all the treasures lonely

Hoarding wares to fill his house

Becoming more a coffin than a home

The architect builds walls to hang his many mirrors

Reflections to remind and extend

To some endless imperfections end

Thank the creators for truth without light

In the darkest hallows of the moonless night

There is no room to lie in this shallow depth of field

A fatal geometry finally sealed
