House on the rock
Sitka by the sea
Murky, dark jade
Sea froth on the shore
Squint-
Flecks of sea through alder and spruce
This keeper of treasures
One Baranof blue door
Somewhat slanted entry
Metal patch on the roof
Offer peace of mind
From on-ground turbulence
To Arctic refugees.
House, become our sanctuary.
Fill yourself with laughter
Hold the muffled footprints
Amplify the sounds of the ocean
The down falling of rain
Rest in the shadow of mountains
House on the rock
