Issue #105
Family room rug in
The stillness after kids are
Asleep - battlefield
Strewn with stuffed puffin
That moos like a cow when squeezed.
An array of kid
Sized tambourines and
Recorder from our music
Parade earlier.
There’s a maple leaf
And an organge peel, both of which
Eliza told me
Were beautiful gifts.
There are two dogs on the couch
That need to be walked.
Asymmetry and
Imperfection everywhere
And it feels right for
This moment. Chaos
Can wait quietly over
Night, become a peace.
