GOD LIVES HERE
Sticky orange scented fingers
A cloudless sky
Two shafts of light
God lives here
A dimly lit kitchen
A raging hurt boy-husband
Ugly tears, mind stopped in grief
God lives here
Sitting in meditation
Amid Tibetan Buddhist artefacts
Sunlight patch on wooden floor
God lives here
Lying in bed
Exhaustion and tears
The sunlight in the trees
God lives here
Raging against injustice
The mind wants to be right
The piercing light of nothing wrong
God lives here
The flea infested house
The mad scratch of itchy puppy
The jolt of plans gone wrong
God lives here
No journey to take
No plans to make
God lives here
Among it all.
