Finding Home

FINDING HOME

The orientation of the house was difficult 

to discern from such a small sampling

of pictures, but there was something about it

that made us sign the dotted line 

without a second glance at interest rates

or all we'd leave. When we move in 

we’re bound to uncover high rates

of misunderstanding, like what we imagined

the back door is actually the front, 

and the windows let in much more light

than photos could convey, but we’ll confront

our ignorance down the road. Right 

now, let’s celebrate that we’re under contract

on the home of our dreams, the one 

that—this, at least, was clear—boasts

a living room where there is space for everyone.
