In an Unfinished Closet - Nov. 12, 2024

happiness is the house

everyone begins building

when they’re young


a process so slow that by

late middle age if only

half the house is done


its probably time to

finish whatever you can

and move in


and oh


if you find love

even in an unfinished closet

make your home there
