As I open the
glass doors
to a scent of
rain spreading
through the
sunlight,
I was welcomed
by gray clouds floating
above my roof.
Should I shut
these doors and take a bubble bath?
Will it make
those clouds go away?
Maybe I cleanse
my ears with soft foam of soap then
nurture my tan
skin with warm water.
The scent of
smoke from across the hall
the black ant
from yesterday crawls frantically
in the depths of
my carpet as it tries to capture a piece of bread crumb
has soothe me
enough.
I’ll stay here
for a while.
