late night clean
going through the pots and pans
cathartic purging

in the bedroom-
stuffed animals on the bed
calling me back

phone call from brother
hearing his need to talk
forgoing sleep

after a long night
the floor in the office
is demounded

early morning-
hot second of calmitude
enough for today

Monday commute
velvet night still in tact
as I walk to the car

today's chores
interesting sides at Whole Foods
lottery tickets
