i want to start simple
& own a little
peaceful
house—
modest—
&
love
a calm
quiet
man—
simple—
&
plant vegetables along my windowsill
while my soul is nurtured by the energy of the sun.
i want to sing a sweet song in church—
sustaining —
& not worry about
envelopes
crowding my mailbox—
assured —
& plant my naked toes
firmly
among the cool
grass of my own lawn…
my nurtured lawn
in time…
all mine:
modest
& simple…
sustaining
& assured …
supreme.
