Eerie December
Work mutes the upcoming break
It’s quiet and dark

It was a free day
Until meetings shelled my plan
Trashed tomorrow too

Eighteen years ago
I met a tiny stranger
Now I watch in awe

Online school for kids
We pass them in the hallway
Between our meetings

Winter’s wind outside
While we studied backyard plans
Imagined warm days

Just like a spring day
Our neighbors swarmed the alley
A rare, warm fall day

Yesterday’s main thought
Never, ever eat again
Caved by mid-morning

With COVID out there
We hunkered down and scratch cooked
Tackled Mom’s menu

Thanksgiving for four
It’s a 2020 thing
You know…. saving lives

Thanks to his sister
The cat wears his tail scrunchie
He knows he looks good
