Some small source
Preferred customer
Ever shopping
Ridiculous bargains
Or pay full price
Using cash only
Seems a shame
Hardly enough
Almost but not quite
Less than the whole
Full to the middle
Masses
Of unorganized stuff
Neatly arranged
To tell
A story that will
Generate
Emotions
Flooding the room with
Light from
Under the hood
Over the sink
Reflecting off the sink
Easing the transition
Soon from dark to dawn
Coloring the kitchen
Ever brighter
Needing nothing but a
Trigger
Crisp bright green
Leaves clustered
Overtaking the lawn
Vine-like stems
Easy to walk barefoot on
Remembering of childhood flower necklaces
Teeming with love
Rickety plywood front steps
All the family gather
In the yard for dinner.
Love fills the simple place.
Even though there's no air conditioning.
Real people with real hearts live here.
Irreverent wrinkles
Refusing to lay flat
Onward I press
Never to be beaten by linen
Warm liquid
Held in the glass
Iced just right
Slides smoothly down my throat
Killing the nerves
Ending the tension for the moment
Yielding to my whims.
Sounding horrible
Even worse than first thought
Very bad indeed
Ending the dream she once had
Reverting back to old habits
Earning her nothing but regret
