By Kelly Thorn

Leave laundry stacked in piles, my love
Keep off the plane, ignore the miles
Let broken bulbs stay dark above
Please stay with us for just a while

Keep off the plane, ignore the miles
The meetings and the calls can wait
You needn’t tread the narrow aisle
Your joy’s not through departure’s gate.

Let broken bulbs stay dark above
Unemptied trashcans matter not
No need to trim the gangly shrubs
The lawn’s a fight to leave unfought.

Please stay with us for just a while
It’s you, just you, we need around
Ignore your list and find your smile
We are your air, you are our ground.
