Show me the bricks

[Mark A Becker]

Hello frenchie-

Thank you for jogging my memory... This poem instantly reminded me of a poem called "Love Song: I and Thou" by Alan Dugan.
Please search for it on the web, and see how it implies a meaning similar to yours.

For me, your poem starts here:
Show me the bricks,
or stones or mud or wood.

I like the idea you have, and think that careful re-building would make it more powerful: a smaller house, with less bricks, yet more nails. 

Thanks,
Mark
