Tuesday

The mail is a leaning tower on the wood.

Mostly bills, mostly "current resident."

The sun moved from the sofa to the rug

and I stayed where I was.


When the fridge hummed to life

it sounded like a shout.

The weight of a day with nothing in it

is heavier than a day full of bricks.

I just watched a dust mote

fall through the light.
