7am

My alarm is ringing. I hear her. I know her incessant rattling is for me. But what was it that I needed to get up for?

So warm is the blanket and bed in which I lay what If I let her arms coddle me a while longer.

And just close my eyes…

8:15am

I sit up in a hurry. In a panic I check the time.

She reaches and gently pulls me back down

I argue with her “ let me go” I say “I have many important things to do today”

She reminds me that I am happy here

Content… ecstatic even

10am

Oh god I’m late and I won‘t be able to make that meeting

It’s the third time I had to reschedule

If I get dressed now, maybe I -

She shuts me up and lays me down

I know I belong here now

who am I for thinking it would end up any different

12pm

*bing* A text from my husband asking me If I brought the car to the mechanic yet

One little thing that he asked me to do

just one little thing

all I do is lay here, all I do is sleep

no help to anyone

it doesn’t get better

it doesn’t go away

and the day is all done now so I might as well stay

she hugs me with a smile as I snuggle in
