Haven

There is no safe house,


No shelter from storms.


I used to think

I could hide in the attic

And all would be fine…

But I was wrong.


The arc light and roar

Blind and deafen.

Droplets splatter like dark cherries

Leaving a mess to clean up.


It’s scary…

Impossible to shut out.


It would be easier

To stay in the cellar—

But I’ve grown accustomed

To the view from up here.

Ya lo decía Bacherard en La poética del espacio, el ático es lo de arriba y los sótanos hablan de lo profundo, lo de abajo. Creo que así como a veces estamos bien desde arriba, hay momentos en los que ese sitio nos crea vértigo. A veces la casa no es el nido reconfortante donde quedarse, a veces es la casa el lugar de donde hay que salir. Bonita noche

A veces hay que tener cuidado de no agitar las profundidades :)

The first few verses are definitive and killer, @johnjgeddes. I think there are places where a man can feel safe. Finding that space is the dilemma. Each one of us looks for him and when he finds him, he stays there. There is no loss! Thank you, my friend

Finding a safe place is essential - often it is a person :)

Very good poem. I appreciate your effort and your poem is saying many things about the reality of life. I really like the first two lines.

They said there's no better place than where they're waiting for him, @john. If you investigate, even the animals look for a place to take refuge and be at peace, a place to be quiet, protected. A house, a love, a feeling sometimes protect. Greetings

very true...thanks
