hesed

a pink, shabby-chic sofa
in a Vermont four-square
divided in two

a girl, tucked in, feet up
arms around knees
slippers left below

a cup of tea
wood smoke’s pungent
afternoon companion

a heart spilled
mopped up by
an unknown soul

Laura,
I am honored. I remember the time as rich as it was raw. It was a privilege to join your journey at that bend in the road.
