rooms
I’ve closed off so many of the rooms of
my soul. I live now in one bright room filled
with toys, with noise, with children.
How many times have I oversteeped the tea
out of pure forgetfulness? There’s a room in
me where I remember. A room in me where
I plant the garden I imagine I could plant.
A room in me where I am a very good friend.
Those rooms, down the long hall, doors
closed and locked. For a time, for a time.
Life is long, and it changes. In this room, I
am vigilant, and I dance to the music. In this
room I compose endless snacks, then clean
up endless crumbs. This beautiful room is
a whole life. This beautiful room is holding
my body in a soft repose, in a posture of
loving, in the embrace of a sofa and a
child’s body draped over mine.
