bearings

make me a place where widows come to rest
their calloused feet, beaten by summer granite
and cheap sandals.

a place whose story-telling walls
speak sleep to tired orphans.

make me a house without curtains,
with open rooms,
and life will be plenty.

let the doorlessness that i am be my new body:
a light that exists between
patches of dry grass.
