orgami's Diaryland Diary

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

night while traffic rains

fresh painted walls
no grim sadness of lived badness
I washed their front door with a
broom and soap scrubbed the little
landing big enough for a lawn chair
before the steps the short sidewalk
and another step to the roadway level
Cleaned the kitchen window at eye
level of dust and cobwebs of neglect
and sorted through the packed things
Put away the kitchen to my best
thinking but the little one may have
better thoughts on this and Lori is
short and the cupboards are tall

rockets and firecrackers are going
off Canada day revellers a faint wind
moves through the building a front
and back I worked so hard cleaning
packing the past four days The store
is close by and the coffee not too
bad Exhausted right now aching back
aching shoulder but glad they are
away from that place A nice new place
not far from where Im living
just a short jaunt as the crow flies
we are chums again
