MOVING IN

There are 
four chambers
to the human heart.
You have 
moved into
each one
of mine.

I hope you relax,
stay awhile,
get comfortable,
leave a toothbrush,
some clothes,
your favorite books
anything you like.
No need to clear anything out,
there is plenty of space.

The place hasn’t 
been lived in
for years.
