Waiting for the poem to arrive, I go about my business -
dishes, packing, eating blueberries, delivery of children to grandparents
kiss kiss goodbye darling!
a walk by a lake, a decaf coffee with a chocolate spoon
the sun bitier than it looks, settling scarf-like around my shoulders
the air smelling sweetish and a little like ducks
a movie about Alan Turing and the Enigma machine, with its bitter punchline
(apparently, saving 14 million lives isn't enough to save you;
not if you like having sex with people of your own gender)
dinner in a cafe, heated rapid conversation
a wandering journey home, the moon a gold coin full high in the sky
the first fragrant sip of bedtime camomile tea -
oh, look. here it is. it turned up after all.
- Kathy, 4/1/15
