Domestic happiness together
a farewell from time to time
and then a child comes in

No men in our arms
no fuss, we say
to the teenager among us

Forgetting the world
forgotten by the world
being free

within the walls
eternal sunshine
in my spotless mind

As a temple, cleansed
with the wind, which takes
away what is not possible

with the water from the holy well
the sacrificial barley cakes of the earth
and the always burning fire in the hearth

the eternal stream
within the walls
of my life
