really pooped
word mojo on the fritz
needing a ginko

against tomorrow
waging war on the floor
and worshipping

getting up early
after fours days of sickness
moving slowly

up with hacking cough
trying to get some rest
against the new day

in the night watches
the moon crosses the window
hearing the clock tick

up before dawn
searching for a shred of peace
to face the day

after a long night's sleep
feeling like my old self
merely tired

real early morning
wishing I don't need breakfast
for the extra sleep

babysitting for friends-
child asks for bathroom company
will he poops

call from dance teacher
two babies and two dogs
sitting for two night

at bible study
"aha" moment among friends
safe to be myself

70 degrees
carrying a coat to work
to use later

chatting with old friends
remembering the war zone
counting my blessings

new roommate in house
the next week making room for them
in the kitchen

early morning chore
drop keys off to new roommate
life will be okay

church bible study-
enjoying chatting, coffee
and a great lesson

today's mail
letter from India
filled with haiku

during the day
smiling for no good reaon
humming to myself

two days chasing rest
not quite catching up to it
slower and still trying
