life-craft

i am crafting a little life
for myself
and for you
knitting a blanket to lie on

i am cooking a dinner
to fill our tummies
i am trying to flavor
our difficult lives

i am stitching the seams
keeping everything in
making it beautiful,
making sure that it fits

creating and entertaining
..........myself
sustaining and maintaining
..........our house
training and restraining
..........this urge

to build, to build
a perfect life for us.
