So, I’m behind
I’m behind, so
I’m so behind
the grace of thick skin
and long eyelashes, and a drink
/er is always near
we have many grey days.
they are the best days
when there are many greys.
but I don’t forget
I don’t
forget
so that is the hope of thick, grey skin.
that we may remember
us. remember us.
we have fewer grey days.
these are those days,
with fewer greys
so we cannot say
these are the better
…..

linked to Day 22, NaPoWriMo, where we are asked to write of Earth Day
14 to 16 hour workdays have cut into writing time… but I’m hoping to make a push to catch up next week, when I have a brief respite…
