Quietude and Me


yesterday was like those
I have tried to forget
another knock at the door
my heart rising to my throat
the badge staring me in the face
just another pain to dispose of

half a day wasted
chasing down the unwanted
entering where I am barred,
looking, locating, mothering,
returning, scolding, forcing
until the deed is accomplished and
time takes its toll...

on me...

dinner and a wine cooler later,
peace returns, quietude,
then sleep...trying to forget,
but knowing there will always
be that next time.

M
