Make home a sanctuary,
with gratitude,
with attention,
to the shiny dishes,
to the new dishwasher,
to the new dishwasher,
to the subsiding vise grip
of needling swelling,
to yoga after sleep,
to the dark cocoon,
to holding still wakefulness,
in the middle of night noise,
of needling swelling,
to yoga after sleep,
to the dark cocoon,
to holding still wakefulness,
in the middle of night noise,
to the agenda-free haven,
to the deep and dark, black and white flicker,
of Gregory Peck or Tyrone Power,
minus commercialism, complaints, combats, compromise.
minus commercialism, complaints, combats, compromise.
Attentive to making a safe place,
a refuge, an asylum, a shelter, a haven .
