Omen


When one is in the mist
Of a defining moment
One is looking for an omen
And this morning
Lighted by the clear sun
Of an early springtime
Three hot air balloons
Were floating high above
The university
Promising serenity
Or so I thought.
While waiting for the removalists
One blue candle at the bottom
Of one of the boxes we brought
From the flat called to me
To be alighted and to perform
A cleansing and blessing ritual
This has been duly done.
The new house is now protected
It is waiting for the furniture
To become a home.
