Inside camping

Unrolled the sleeping bags in front of the fireplace.
Uncorked the bottle of wine.

Our eyes and the blank walls made wild plans
of the domestic persuasion.

The home where I hang my toothbrush
now tangible
grows lumps and piles of boxes in corners.

It grows a Christmas tree.
and slowly the home on my back
unfolds itself around this crackling fire.

Base Camp.
