Interior
In the sheltering home
two funny humans in pajamas
examine each other's face
fading colors, worry lines
time grinds down and time erodes
time has held them aloof
until now
Now is the rediscovery
the pleasure of simple thing
s
in the absence of demands
Now is deep listening and seeing
to be moved by the quiet clutter
in the little abode
Catnaps, prayers
a candle lit for the departed
make bread, wash clothes
patience is the virtue that lie
s
in a slow dance, a quick laugh
all that had been ignored are gathered
and put back in place
as the shattered glass spills across the globe
