November dribbles - 16
Stacking dishes, plates
Empty the dishwasher. They’re waiting
Still for dinner, sitting watching
The TV.
Stacking football scores on notepads
On their knees. I’m stacking dreams
Under the magnets
On the fridge.
Stacking all those pictures there
From kids; they’ve grown to adults.
Dinners stacked their muscles
Set them free.
Giving thanks for housework
