MAKING A SPACE IN MYSELF


making a space in myself.
not a whole room but a portion
that’s ready. a place I can go
to rest or remember no matter
where I find my body went.
a stillness that could hold something
if something came along
that I wanted to hold.
I could fill it now with wine
or magazine articles I read once
that told me how to be some other way.
and I know one or another of my worries
would happily pay the rent
even month-to-month
but I think I’ll wait.
