Round One-

January's end-
marveling at the new calm
inside my space

In the evenings
looking at a clean first floor
enjoying the view

Entering Rest

fourth week of new year

shifiting into maintenance

for two floors of house

Cycle of Life

Full weekend-
Neighbors kids run through my house
and Mom washes their clothes

Resolve

Chatting with house guest
no transgression committed
cooling my jets

The Trust is Broken

finding out
I've been stolen from
collecting my thoughts

Day Three in my Room

day three in my room-

new night stand erases

pool of floor clutter

Space - The Final Frontier

after long weekend-
seeing most of the carpet-
using the dresser

Alister Dreams...

finally-
getting to drive my own car
and buy my own gas....

Long Weekend's Plans

Long Weekend plans-
turning bedroom into a haven
in a mere two days

After THe Flu

flu day eleven
finally sleeping it off
not looking peaked

Finally...

Finally,
house guest starts a new job
now she will get chores

midweek-

slowing down to regroup

and enjoy the day

in today's mail-
this year's planner
one week to catch up

Hockin'

Day 4 of bug

sucking down lozenges

to keep voice's timbre

first week on days
busted and disgusted
can't wait till next week

catching a cold
reminding myself
no partner on shift

New Year

first day of year
purging the house of trash
creating calm
