Mist on the windshield

I like the days I am not worried about what is next.  It allows me to focus on what is here, right now.  And maybe do things I rarely do, like rearrange the Fiestaware in the cabinet, so different colors are on top.

There was mist on the windshield

After the workout.

It signaled warm

Or warmer.

Maybe more of the snow

Will melt today.

Today I am not worried

About what is next.

I notice the few moments this morning

When my ears unplug.

The breakfast dishes give an opportunity

To admire the clear colors

Of Fiestaware newly clean,

Orange and green and gray.

I rearrange the dishes

So we will eat off different colors

Tonight.

I will scrub down the shower later,

Maybe notice other small things

As it all comes clean.

I am not worried about

What is next.

There was mist on the windshield

This morning.

We will eat off different colors

Tonight.
