What I did today

after the hailstorm
I dreamed of a plague
of mosquitoes

after the plague
I got up, had coffee
went out and bought
a wooden boot jack

I like it best when
my husband takes
off my boots

after the boot jack
I bought silver crosses
for my ears

I like it best
when my husband is
my salvation

tonight
I had no dreams so
I read poetry

my husband slept
beside me dreaming
of me, his poem

  1. Such devotion in the husband. Lucky fellow, too, to have "his poem" and to have his poem personified. :)

    And the 'salvation' part ties well with the 'plague' at the outset. Crisis averted. :) Cheers.
