2007/leak

This morning you say we
have another pin-hole leak
in the plumbing pipes beneath
the house.
Before I’m ready for such news.
Before tea. Before breakfast.
Before the pain in my body subsides.
Before I sort out my dreams
(making candles with my sister).
And one, I think, about a spray
of water beneath the house.
Law of attraction.
Did I bring it on myself?
Or was it divine guidance
telling me to check things out?
If so, what am I to do
about the candles.
