Something Funky

The front hall is filled with boots and bags 
and mysterious bits of unconstrained, 
self-contained underwater breathing apparatus.
There are balled up socks on the stair.
Meeker is blissfully asleep 
atop a pile of unmentionables that I won't mention.
Jesse is doing her best to descend into the basement
where a Bon-Tempi, Easy-Beat-One version of "My Music At Work"
is being sung by a voice that makes my heart jump,
my throat tighten and my eyes fill.

 Hello, Heartbeat. You're home.
