I have rented an office
Over a stationary store,
Near the railroad tracks.
The walls are the blush and blue
Of early dawn;
The floor is a polished honey lozenge.
Through the window, plain sky.
A deep plum robe hangs on a peg by the door.
I shake off my shoes in respect
When I enter,
Slip on the royal wrap and
Sit at my mac, reverent.
I bow my head
Before the musical chord
Indicating startup.
Spirit willing, sacred text follows.
~M.J. Tenerelli
