A Home for Suitcase

just one corner

a small little space

in this great big building

to leave a medium sized

clothes filled suitcase

and its little

writing filled companion

But you're afraid

and i understand why

finally

but it's so sad to see

it's just fear you're afraid of

making you afraid to be


The poor are coming all the time

with their smells

from not having enough water

nor places to wash

except in the blood of the lamb


true cleanlness

in the heart

old story

as little understood as always

not purchased in bars or cans

cannot be rubbed or sprayed on

come inside

in love


dont let the smells

keep you out

you dont have to

smell that way

unless forced to

for love

where you'll discover

you can stink to high heaven

while experiencing it
