House-Cleaning
Jul 31, 2005
Rain outside my windowHouse-cleaning.
Detailed thoroughness
Scrubs every last
Leaf-pebble-roof
Flowers with wet faces
Shining like school-children
And all the day?s discontents
Settled with the scent of redsoil
Rising from the earth better than
Baking bread.
I turn from the window
Inspired
Clear a small corner
Inside
For my heart to sit
Cross-legged
& Grateful.
