awakenedA 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.
