In It

This morning I awoke to the drumming of tiny arms

and legs in my body

at 8:42

The thermostat read 58 degrees , quickly remedied

and as I puttered about quietly I heard the

healthy hum and whir of the furnace

making cozy

Coffee woke the man I love

Cat food can opening brought in the furry one I spoil

and I chuckled to myself

as he whirled and mewed at my feet,

full of spark and life.

We all assembled in the kitchen

over steel-cut oatmeal with cranberries and walnuts

Janey got her dose of love

Jones got his pill, his shot and as many pets as he would suffer

after such abuse

And our son rolled happily all through it,

stoking the ever-growing wish to meet him

and see that sweet face:

we're so excited hold him!

This weekend it is my wish for you

that your cup steameth

and overfloweth

with goodness

and abundance:

we send our regards out into the world

with love.

xo,

Us
