I’m ready for the weekend
without you
lolling for hours with a book
puts an Adirondack chair to proper use
antiquing? no, thanks
these days, it all seems like junk to me
I’ll hike the park instead.
I’m alone
except for a hungry cat
and I love it, I won’t deny.
though you configure nowhere in this solitude
But I can’t work the damn TV remote
and I’m weirdly proud of that fact
though I am sorry I don’t pay attention to your helpful instructions,
I appreciate that you try
texts for breakfast
texts goodnight
texts that let me know you’re safe
I’m safe, too.
how did you sleep
I’ll make you dinner
bring me a present!
don’t forget your water
your phone
your hat
because I am still here
Poignant. Authentic. Loved reading this.
