the week saw an ordinary
pulse of work,
not standing still,
but in forward motion-
so, it was true.
but somewhere in it,
nerves were tested,
equilibrium shorted,
a sense that all
was not right, settled.
too long the wait
for the week end
serenic tradition,
I peppered and
salted a roast on Saturday.
the oven-warm room
and spit and sear of fat
entrance the appetite;
blood moves hungrily
from brain to belly.
there, work dissolves-
gathered, filling the gullet
in conversation
and calorie, feeling
steadier already.
