Around Home

We human beings haven’t always made
Our halls and homes rectangular or square
Indeed, when on arriving first so bade
“Primitive” helpers almost anywhere

Upon the ground of Mother Africa
(Where they remember more than we’ve forgot),
They begged us to revise our formula —
From my experience, I blame them not

All energies distribute well within
Dwellings which pleasantly circular are
Lit sweetly from each early morn’s begin
Till the appearance of that first faint star

Warmth, physical and interpersonal,
The outer world’s disharmonies annul
