NEAR BY





Cats sleeping nearby
spouse sleeping nearby too
coffee cooling nearby
thoughts lingering nearby
fantasies fade
memories hide
laptop rests while
hope chills and
fans turn;
books rest
temperatures outside rise
chairs stand silent
as mind tumbles after
rustling curtains;
floors feel feet
vase reflects my concerns
flat screen blank
as is my need to be creative
on a Sat–ur–day as
light appears unannounced
as it always does and
I dwell on lame excuses
as I always do.
