How can one person
be so excited about
an extra hour’s sleep?
I answer the door.
Offer kids cooked broccoli
They demand candy.
I crave silence like
most women crave chocolate,
dark, deep, bittersweet.
An apple, as red
as it is crisp, awaits on
the blue floral plate.
Only quiet time
to read tea ceremony
book is in bathroom.
The new furnace kicks
on, and I rise to the warmth
like yeast bread baking.
Turn the clocks back next
week? I could use that extra
hour of sleep right now…
The review called her
‘fetching’ – wrapped in bandages,
convulsing, bleeding.
Where would CNN
be if breaking news ceased,
nothing to report?
