Fire Flies
Sabotaging Perfection
Published in

Our imperfect home
With loose doorknobs and
Missing tiles
Screen doors with holes and
Jam smeared on the wall
Homes that almost touch
Forcing us to find new ways
To keep our secrets
Dogs bark over screaming
As matches ignite
On both sides
Still, I can’t give it away
Thinking back to nights
By the fireplace
Throwing thoughts into flames
You’ll find a way to stay
