sunday morning

ah,
   sunday morning,
snowy silence
weekly cup'o joe
                     pancakes

i love it when its

child whines
                fingersnails on chalkboard
someone farts
can't
breathe
move seats

if i die young, bury me in satin, lay me down on a bed of roses

pancakes, quiet, cup'o
child screams
              someones bleeding
husband sits down to drink
we lock eyes and imagine putting our thumbs on our heads

but its my sunday morn...

child screams
               somethings dead
run to help
leg cuffs are riding up to the knee

sigh
explain appropriate levels of calls for help vs  drink coffee
no contest

sink me in the river at dawn

"so when we have the funds, we could..."
                 my husbands head morphs into charlie browns teacher

animals still need feeding
escape

its sunday morning
ah,  snowy quiet
breathe

wet, cold,
musky wet urine
straw needs replacing
im hungry

send me away on the words of a love song*

pancakes
MOM I WANT MY MOVIE!

not till after lunch
NO! NOT AFTER LUNCH, NOW!

now not at all today, try again tomorrow

cup'o joy
sigh
i love sunday morning's
on the inside....
