in my own décor

a Shakespearean sonnet

I’ll put them all together – gussied up

like the ruffled panties of the eighteenth

century, waves of forbidden delight

I’ll build my own hut made of turf and moss

*

in its own décor, on the mantelpiece

all these comfortable bits are aligned:

pine cones, candles, reed sticks, golden honey

sweet caramel and creamy vanilla

*

to bring the most enjoyable pleasure

the aroma of hot apple crumble

fills the air with homey ambience as in

the most welcomin’ inn – heart of the hearth

*

you said that only happy birds fly high

I wonder if that’s still true till today

*

October 2022
