morning chores
cleaning off kitchen table
blasitng through junk mail

waking rested
clearing one house area
planning for the next

during the night
watching the moon travel

talking with sister-
enjoying shared holidays
one more time

yesterday morning
coming down the stairs
to nonbreathing cat

first weekend of year
cleaning out the old trash
to diffuse the calm

new year's day plus one
expanding resoultions
to clean the basement
