Where to begin?
The mess in the Kitchen?
--the rum bottle and tea cups,
the plates and wrappers
The Living room?
--the yoga mat,
the wool ball, the knitting,
the magazines and newspaper,
the Bible, Luther's Annotations to Matthew,
Silvia Plath
The I-Pad
--carry on some insane argument,
read some or all of Facebook,
answer mail
watch a debate
put on some wild music to get me going
The Laundry
--on the floor, piled here and there,
drying over the machine
The Windows
--looking streaked
on this sunny day with the sun hanging low,
having been cleaned already for the winter.
How will I put up with this for six months
The Baking
--to bake or not to bake,
everyone is on a diet,
a soup would be better
FIRST OF All, a Coffee
--in the new grandmother mug
on the biggest, softest easy chair,
breathing deeply,
a kind of meditation,
or yoga
It must be a beginning
I already thought about
God
on my bed,
like David
I thanked him for this day
