The garlic is cooking with sundried tomatoes I got

Probably

Too long ago.

There’s no sign of mold yet, so I throw them in

Sizzling

As they meet the olive oil coating the pan.

The day and the week

And month.

Has been hard.

I haven’t felt like this since the doctor said I had mono

About two years ago….

On this Wednesday night, Billie sings her blues

And I drink the rest of my wine from yesterday afternoon

Happy to slice a lemon,

Sit back

And study the flood light painting

our white kitchen walls.
