Right now
the afternoon brightens
the dogs sleep
beside me
the last of the corn
and the best acorn squash
from the garden are
roasting from light to gold
The kids sleep one room away
done with every weekend activity
A stumbled home from a night shift
and also sleeps
I? I have something completely
unrelated to work to read
while the week's laundry
churns itself clean and dry
Sounds so ordinary
but this hasn't happened
in years. It is a returning
peace, to be thankful.
