Home Sweet Home---for K

91 Days in hell for me, homeless is prison,
You're never free
So: hard work, grueling drive, over fog-stricken grade
Nowhere to hide
90 miles one day, 80 the next
Oh my knee, Oh  my leg, Oh my neck
Sacrificed peace, my sleep, and back
After a month--- one month's rent-
What a laugh...........
Barely eeking a way out........................................
At the end of my rope,
God threw me a line

A silver haired sailor
Came to my rescue
A craigslist ad of mine
Caught his angelic eye
For 400 dollars I'm in prime coastal
With a view to the sea
All utilities included
Who would believe?

K you are grand , the best thing that's happened
in this whole dreadful year (except for SP!)
Teaching 5th tomorrow so I know I can stay
Until mid -December
A home sweet home
I will always remember.
