The Outer Edges

Life
Insists on calling me
From the outer edges of the
universe
From the outer edges of the
garden
From the outer edges of the
kitchen

It whistles to me
With steamy breath
A geriatric kettle
​​​​​​Singing
Lullabyes
At death

It presents me
With
Baked beans on toast
Insists
Insists
Insists
On being 
The perfect host
To my misery

Because I spend my life, now, lurking in these outer edges, I really felt this poem. It "reached" me. I get it. Fabulous deep writing. Hugs x
