POEM: Ode to the Rug on My Living Room Floor

An intimate look at new and old love, with inherited memories and objects giving life to new ones in nuanced but familiar ways. The poem, rich in texture and sound, allows the reader to situate themselves in the love of once-new things, now washed in the fondness and grief of time passed.
