Brix and Mortar

When I build my house 

And

It does not look like grand mamas

Or does not smell like papas

Remember 

That that our bricks are

from the same soil

And 

The mortar is binded 

By the deepest waters

And

Our shadows of the 

Past still dance

In the window sills.

 

Remember

We are still

Neighbors.

We are still kin.

Come celebrate with me

Warm my house.

 

The door is unlocked

Come in

Please.

Morning Bathtime
