You must know the hard science
of building walls that sway
with summer storms.
Locking arms to a frame of air, frame of oak
rooted to ancient ground
where the door’s constructed last,
just wide enough for two lovers
to enter on hands & knees.

-from "Instructions for Building Straw Huts,"
by Yusef Komunyakaa
