A House of My Own
Not a flat. Not an apartment in back. Not a manโs house. Not a daddyโs. A house all my own. With my porch and my pillow, my pretty purple petunias. My books and my stories. My two shoes waiting beside the bed. Nobody to shake a stick at. Nobodyโs garbage to pick up after. Only a house quiet as snow, a space for myself to go, clean as paper before the poem.
