The dog will allow
the sun to fall on
the spot where she
chooses to lie
every morning
just as the light decides
the same place
to enter the house
The fridge will shudder
and the kettle will sing,
the water will bubble
as eggs crack in endings
and beginnings
And through these
mundane moments
I will sigh and ask
if I will dare to love
And you may wonder
whether this daring is
about you, or someone
else or the planet or
things
But it is far deeper
than that, in all this serving,
navigating meaningless
routines, will I allow
space to love myself?
