a sunday day

coffee first, folding the pile of clothes,

delicious pancakes, disappointment

smashed glass, sweep three times

crawl into the sheets, cry cry cry

moss milkshakes, garden ponds

poems, book of poems held to my forehead

she reads to me, i fall asleep

she doesn’t mind at all

rising up, shuffling the hall

back to the kitchen, bubbly water

coffee, more sweeping

another plant gifted, another block walked

one, two photos taken of my girls and me

dinner struggle, dancing in darkness

the evil witch and evil wizard, me and him.
