separating the
non-essential from the much
needed is painful.
Not enough time for
cookies, cards, decorating.
Which one do I skip?
If you had to pick,
what sense would you sacrifice?
Impossible choice.
My spare bedroom holds
many possibilities
under all that junk.
I burn candles and
incense. Maintain silence. Find
myself in nothing.
Fat balls of yarn crowd
my home like clawless kittens,
needling me to start.
Sometimes, the hunger
that compels you to eat a
cookie is sadness.
Soldiers wear helmets.
Women wear makeup, styled hair.
Our mode of defense.
The house of my heart
is white, clean, pure. No windows,
doors. No visitors.
