Random holes in walls
cracked tile
a tricky remote control so leave it on the channel where favorite show will be on an hour from now
otherwise lost in home shopping hell of endless infomercials
missing boards on dresser and table and
pillow that somehow got soaked
on the sofa
AND YET
tonight this is home
A/C works
remain shipwrecked in king-size bed for days
microfridge and microwave and endless supply of ice
for packing emotions in cooler
for later time when we at last unpack everything
including memories both good and bad if not to fling in the fire to place in storage again
until the next time angels usher us onto the lost highway under a copper moon
To escape in a divine cloak
of invisibilty
