Bright sunshine walls and long carpet
that gets infested with hair if we don’t vacuum.
Desks cluttered with books, papers, and keepsakes.
Beds sometimes made and sometimes not.
Two desks, two beds, two dressers, two ways of living,
But perfect harmony.
A Jon McNaughton Arizona sunset,
An Elspeth Young calendar of Biblical women and a white BYU graduation tassel,
My first oil painting: the Drakensburg Mountains in autumn,
Underneath a plaque that reads “HOPE.”
June and July desk calendars, one above the other, taped behind the door for the wedding plans countdown.
An orange racers bib from a feat of a lifetime—my first half marathon.
Burnt sienna and green vermillion,
Indigo and paynes grey,
Linseed oil washed sky:
An unforgettable moment captured in color.
