day twenty...in which i offer a quickie...


i'm sorry.

i had a headache.
i had a meeting
(and got very good news
and a definite yes).
i made spaghetti for supper
and had a long nap.
i am cuddled on the couch
with a husband sleeping
at one end
and a daughter asleep
on the other
while i watch
the mighty
and my boy and his friend
build zombie santas in the kitchen.

so i'm rushing
and i'm typing avant garde
with no map
and no plan.

but i'm here.
i'm here.
