In My Mind It Remains Spotless

was the floor swept today, waxed and ready for no crumbs to fall? others sleep in your house... do they gather drinking glasses in the night? Jesus stood colorfully tall on your dresser, whimsical nuns whirled and sang in your curio… are they curious do they know the one who cared for each corner? when they wind the steps to the attic room do they feel your panic, your out of breath plea, “I need help” do they hear your heart beating in the crisp clean slumber of dawn? 11/14/2018

This makes me think of how my mother would panic if guests were coming over and the house was not 'spotless' - really like 'your out of breath plea, I need help' - we should all ask for help when it is needed!
