There Are Good Things Here

"There are good things here"
my therapist assures me.

Good things building in this construction site
you call a life.

Good things buried in this shit heap
you call home.

Good things masquerading in this circus
you call a family.

Good things brewing in this compost bin
you call a consciousness.

Good things healing in this funeral home
you call a heart.

Good things being born in this spirit
you call a person.

And she's right.
