Our First Home

before the key touched the door 
and even before 
the agent real-stated this, our home 
i heard the rafters, door stoppers and shutters 
rattle with our love 
i saw 
the garden you’d grow 
that’d so 
open my eyes 
i came to see too 
the me that came to know you 
i caught sight of what we were going to be 
before the key touched the door 
and what’s more 
i caught the sense of all who came into our dwell 
and as I caught them, they did me as well 
and oh, how they all knew 
each and everyone 
how well we had come 
into this. . . our first home
