rug

from LYMES by Abi Reimold

/

lyrics

gluing the rug to the floor was the best decision we made
when the house burned down that rug it still remained

standing in the soot pile that was our front porch
before our residence was torched
staring at a home that nothing can replace
mourning over hard work that has gone to waste

although the adhesive no longer adheres
and a stupid rug can't make me pretend you are near
just that it exists is enough for right now
for someday it can be used somehow

and on that someday the rug will be a place for our feet
when once again on the same surface our toes meet
although there's no roof over our heads
my boots will no longer be filled with lead
