The Sunday Before The End

He’d hoped for a perfect day
Of dirty shoes and a long walk
While she had made plans
To drink coffee and talk

He sat behind the curtain
Altered by the sugar
Took questions one by one
Without a perfect answer

He almost never had one
She whimpered on
Walking about restlessly
Without any footwear on

He had nothing to ask
But the one that made her shudder
It wasn’t her love for dogs
But why she sang in the shower

:) Do men always have a problem with the lack of footwear.

I love this piece. It's very evocative. And, flows like the river.

So difficult to find angst-free poetry these days.

Glad I stumbled on this one.
