awakened

A Poem by Ross Davison

 

 
 
                                Awakened by the sound of quietly placed footsteps.
 
 
Rustic room aroma
 
 
                                             and summer sweat humidity
 
 
        chirp cricket the tall grass long cicadas buzz,      sun shades low and warm
 
  cool hardwood handmade quilted
            photos on the bureau
 
 
              A strangers home no more.
 
 
 
Taken in
 
      accepted.
                     
 
 
long family walk around the just past sunset block
                          
     red wine and buttered corn conversation
 
                                     
     I fell in love last night
 
 
With people                 I once never knew.
 
 
                         Taken in,
 
              awakened,
 
       by the sound of quietly placed
 
                        footsteps.

With people I once never knew."

How handsome you put things!
