Furniture Talk


When the feng shui of my drama-cile
doesn't accommodate furniture
from yours, let us neither
curl all-but index digits in accusation
nor pitch vocal chords to escalation.

May we find room and time, instead,
to sit with grace upon a porch swing
overlooking our own lives' valley,
allowing the sun to set and rise upon us
as we, together, quilt a slip-cover from
the patchwork of our shared story.

  1. I really like how the photo LOOKS like a quilt. (Are those the falls at Yellowstone?)
    And I like the call to communal perspective -- ALWAYS a good idea.

  2. Thank you, Kay. It's one of the vistas from Yosemite - taken during my 2011 sabbatical.
