Small House

Of a mind to purge and clean and somehow turn my small house

into a brilliant soaring space spread with tall clear windows

revealing masses of sunlight, the traverse of the moon, the habits

of trees, convergence of planets, partnering of birds, flight of bees

the ceilings so high that all my remarkable ideas and lofty plans

have room to float high and higher gathering courage, bursting

with aplomb, becoming ever wilder, freer than even they

could have imagined, before being caught on paper and

brought to life for others to see and know and love.
