Moving Day
by Bruce Sager
I peeled out of that driveway
and made my way over here,
to this new place, this place
you’ve stopped by just now
with a cake in your hands
and a smile on your face, and so
here we are, you and I, smiling,
standing with such fine patience
on this new porch
all of the day
spread before us
like a fresh cloth
over the rooftops.
