empty your house




                                                an accident.

things were going well, laughing,
noticing the sunshine yellow leaves,     
                                                then an accident.

like an innocent, pudgy toddler
laughing and running and 
uh-oh, pavement rises to head.
waaaaahhhh!                      
                                                an accident.

knocking the ground right 
out from under beliefs.
shock.  life wasn't supposed 
to go this way.

after all seems safe and calm,
the scene replays itself

                                                over 

                                                and 

                                                over.

Love says,

"Empty your house of all
that doesn't exist.  You and I
need this place all to
ourselves."

Allah
