“where all my journeys end”
————————————
§§§
she gets
breakfasts in bed,
an all-pandemic menu benefit
I smile,
as I carry delicately
her coffee, berries, & bagel,
a happy house divided,
stroked even sided
1/2 French pear confiture
1/2 NYC whipped cream cheese
I smile,
as I am now an imagined,
a heroic carry-out guy,
an ear budded delivery man,
whose ears are filled to the brim
with words of an old love song,
“where all my journeys end”^
this poem is hers,
an ending for her
bed breakfasting,
and a commencing,
for her living well
an ending for her bed breakfasting,
and a commencing, for her living well,
a place where,
all my journeys end.
