portico or lean- to ?


    nabokov on 
the writing 
of borges :


" each one
         a portico without a mansion "

  of course these posts 
           ain't mansions

but i avoid proticos too


======================================




these are 
not designed 
as  grand enterings

 at least not 
             to anything 
           well worked out
                and imposingly
                     thoughtful
                            or thorough 
 
but half assed 
flashinations 

at best stakes in the ground 

"heres where the house will go ..."

and if u
  want cover from 
what might fall thru the night
deep in
the forest primeval 

my temp wickee ups
more then just leak pal


lashed together
not out of a fine mesh of green sapplings 

but  out of fallen limbs

good for fire wood only 

not even
enough 
  for 
 a rainy  one night stand
