I think what’s that

corner of the ceiling

as I stare up from the dentist chair

except for home for

tiny me in my mind now

as I grind down

what’s super familiar

into a blank slate

I can write myself into

to right myself

at the right angle this time

and get cozy in once again

like cuddling up

against the tight white embrace

of a second chance at love
