in the fourth watch-
kitty wants to play tag
with the moonbeams

sleep light night-
enjoying the moon's passing
through the room

weekend of rest
still fighting to rally
for Monday morning

chatting about hobbies
the stunned look in their eyes-
once more- I'm other

morning prep-
working hard to get up
and feel the cold floor

morning chore
finding my happy place
minutes into shift

Sunday night
emergency room visit
not a place to park
