Clean

I am home today, smelling the scent of clean.  Last fall we began hiring a person to come in every two weeks to clean.  She came two weeks ago, the day after my double seizure.  When my daughter picked me up from the hospital, she brought me home to clean.  Today I was home to witness the process, and experience the house being worked into cleanliness.  

The last time

I smelled the house

Like this

I walked through the front door

From the hospital.

This is my two week anniversary

Home again.

Lately

We have seen

Way too many doctors and nurses.

Still

I know so many others

Who see

So many more.

Still

The last time

I smelled the house

Like this

I arrived to it

Clean and shining

And now

Two weeks later

It has the scent of clean

Again

And I

I did not have to

Arrive from anywhere

To smell it.
