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.

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

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