Who Has Time For Clean Houses?

Clothes came off the floor as I

finally have a break in the chaos for

one simple moment.

The dishes are still dirty and the bathtub still has paw prints from that one time I showered and the dog wouldn’t leave me alone and it had rained the night before.

But my clothes are clean and my floor is mopped and my bed is fresh,

and the candle on my dresser is the only thing I can smell,

and I’m reminded yet again that rebirth is possible and only takes an hour.
