a proposition
i feared it would come to this
all must be revealed

falls first cold morning
hands, nose, and ears testify
long winter awaits

art and the homeless
know beauty's ability
transform, empower

army of plumbers
clogged toilets have not a chance
humorous reference

a long day's reward
laying horizontally
more costly than gold

scents of the kitchen
every changing and the same
a story of home

long walks in the dark
day hidden away with time
new sights all unseen
