playful

If I were to write today
I would say

outside our front door
cold winds blow
below zero

inside our house
dusty towels snuggle against our front and back doors
keeping out brother winds skinny fingers

I would share a long
incomplete
grateful for sentence

hot decaf with eggnog, children playing legos, three people in pajamas, one mom under a blanket, Kodo blessing us from a desk top computer, hazelnut chocolate, potato chips, homemade dip, facebook

Open Salon
and how
Monday can
look
just this way for us

I would want to write a poem with no form

then I'd get back to working on a short story that's been keeping me company night and day, whether I'm sitting with it's physical being or not
