where to build

don't build
too close to water,
where it can
rise and take
everything away.
or on the flat
plains of kansas
where any wind
can funnel black
and tear it all down.
or on a cliff
overlooking
the ocean,
where the ground
is soft and easy.
don't make
your stand on
wet sand while
the waves pound
in and shake you
off your feet.
find higher ground,
find a good
heart first, and
build love on that.
