We laid in bed,
finally able to take a breath
Still completely dressed
in our work clothes
I brewed coffee fifteen minutes ago
It's a little cold now
And we're drinking it out of sippy cups
This is the best day we've had in a while
I'm relaxed
The wind is quite
You started to count
everything that's gone wrong
this year on your fingers
and toes but you ran out
I grabbed your hand
gently and folded it into
a fist in my palm
once you reached for your
knee caps,
"There aren't enough
extremities in the world..."
I said,
"just enjoy this moment for what it is,
We'll fix the rest in the morning"
And we fell soundly asleep
in the middle of the day
*Finally
The world feels okay
