Everything but the kitchen sink

This is where I write --
if you can imagine anyone writing
in the midst of such chaos --
but the picture is missing
the cat on the keyboard
(I reach under him to type)
and the dog curled on the floor
sucking forlornly
on his sore paw
and the view from the window
which right now features a sailboat
silhouetted against an orange sky;
nor does it show
the 10 buddhas, 5 angels,
3 otters, two collages,
and the quilted partridge in her pear tree.


This is a response to L.L. Barkat's invitation at Seedlings in Stone to share the 'place where we write'.
