there will be
cookies and pickled red onions,
hand-holding and river feet!
now that the raccoons
are gone from her chimney
we will sleep
like baby bears without an evolutionary care.
in the steeple
mornings will be practical miracles,
and being normal
will be a tangible possibility.
now that the raccoons
are gone from her chimney
we can watch Can't Hardly Wait
and Ridiculousness.
the world
will witness us,
just as we witness
the world.
