Eventually, things become
what they are
without the overlay.
The cat died,
the last one, and
we wept and placed her
on a chair till morning,
but couldn’t sleep
with a dead cat in the room.
The dent in the car
bothered me once
and now it looks like art.
Take our housekeeping lapses
or inability to drink wine
or the collapse
of civilization.
It’s a comfort
to settle into things
as they are
instead of what
we wanted them to be.
