Good at Last
Late in the day
I realize I’ve actually
been watching for you all day
and you’re not coming
Bent into prayer position
planting where dandelions
with some effort were extracted
my hands and back are just plain tired.
It takes a surprising amount of
strength and perseverance
to untie
the knots such work ties
and if you add to that unconscious
efforts to keep head and spirits up
you get hot pain served with
a side of cold denial
How good at last
to stand erect and stare down
passing clouds without pretending
they resemble anything
