Scribbles & Coddles

 

I plan to scribble this week:
     both a picture and a poem.

Read this week:
      something neglected
      and sitting around.

Study this week:
     language and science,
     new and forgotten.

I plan:
     to prune and weed—a little,
     coddle a fresh egg and some older scribbles,
     cobble a little table,
     do a little healthful exercise.

This week will likely:
   surprise me
      at unplanned time
      with something and someone new,
   take me 
      over sad-but-noble miles 
      to new ashes of old friend,
   give me
      a moment or two
      for these thoughts and thoughts of you.
