Split-foyer
Up or down
but they stay in the middle
when there is no hurry
no walls no new normal
a high ceiling for reaching
rooms are enough for closeness
and sharing the turn-about outside
to say not on the straight and narrow
railing to see through and hold
the center cut of a drop-off
flat emotion to waiting and wanting
every deck from the kitchen
is the escape into personal growth
matched in color tired of beds
in silence or in blaring sun
home makes the changes
you live with.
