Room for three

There is always room for me
in your hand-me-down furnished,
toy-strewn living room.

Tea on the stove,
pipe smoke residue in the cushions,
baby sleeping in the next room
with bare feet.

No need for bright lights,
we know each others faces.
I can see your silly grin in your voice.
We rhetoricize the future
and the world outside
this dark womb.

Lying on this couch, across from you,
I’m not sure anything else exists.
I am discovering myself in your family room.
