Brief family

Behind glass,
Voices soften and rise like the tide,
Warm bodies sharing,
A pack,
holding together for a moment,
This brief family,
Agreed on terms,
music, stories and ideas.
Lifting and falling,
Safe in the act,
on this temporary stage.
Before moving again,
A new cast is called.

Blessington March 2026
A house laid out for visitors, made warm for travellers.
Four households, four stories, sharing the space for a short while.
Raising glasses and each other.
