The Relentless Beauty of the Ordinary

glorious image by michael seidman

for laurie

sweet the sound of laundry swishing
the click and clack of dishes dishing
the groan of hard drives overfilled
the clink of cocktails duly swilled

the ding of emails just received
raw scrapes of half-truths half-believed
a chattering mind consumed with doubt
the screaming soul, belting out

its song of longing, song of pain
the sound of living, once again
