this is my design.

it’s my little house of peace.

brick by loving brick,

I assemble it.

daffodils, poppies,

a green field of wild-bred blooms,

around arranged stones,

they embellish it.

a kitchenette rug,

lie and soak under the sun.

a vision so clear,

out of Pinterest.

there’s books all around,

one cup and a single plate,

living life at ease.

I thought I would never get to it.
