welcome home, y'all... ("So let your brothers be called, 'My People' and your sisters be called 'Shown Mercy'" Hosea 2:1) "Take Off Your Shoes" Take off your shoes when you come in my house, open the fridge, ignore all the aluminum foil finery and take what you want, don't ask, take what you want sit on the floor, put your head on the hearth and snooze the afternoon away on the bricks and carpet pillows and smoke flatter rain on window panes grab the satin quilt from off the cherrywood chest and wrap it round your legs, round your baby boy's legs, or roll up amy'n'mikey like mummys on the rarely waxed floor laugh when you want cry when you can hug and ask for hugs chatter or listen there's left-hand-on-yellow twister with squeals from toddlers and teens too shy to flirt there's checkers for the half awake and chess for the untwisted stoke the fire with november breath or let the embers fade to silent midnight they'll be there in the morning take off your shoes when you come into my house "oh, you only came to deliver the milk?" well, then... take off your shoes when... anybody wanna come over? mark p. lamppoet@minot.com Share your poetry here This page hosted by Get your own Free Home Page
