Days End

At my days end

when

nothing is left

but

to settle in...

I

take off my shoes

and

bake banana bread.

Drink

ing chamomile

by

a window sill

I

sip my wet leaves.

Dream,

my daydreams.

I

stand by the win

dow

when it rains so, 

I

always end up thinking 

of you.

I 

take 

my 

naps.

I

play 

my 

tracks.

I

eat 

my 

meals.  

I 

drink 

my

fill,

and

I 

always end up thinking

of you 

I 

continue my life.

I 

bake,  

and

I 

write, 

and

I

always end up thinking

of you.

I 

stand by the win

dow 

when it rains so,

my tears

inadvertently roll 

down my face...

Why do I 

always end up crying

when it rains?

i really like this...i like the form and flow as well as the description of routines at the end of the day when love has gone or there has been some form of loss...i watched my dad build routines after my mom passed and for thirteen years he never wavered: sipping tea, baking, listening to music, napping, daydreaming...it appears that i, too, have many of these routines... nicely-done

both my parents were addicts, I had my run of things as well before I started making the right decisions. I could never do that with women and the results are usually the same. Regrets are a f*****g cancer but to cut it out would mean cutting out the parts now belonging to them. The longing, the emptiness, all that is theirs now. What's left over is mine. I feel for your parents FT. Mine were taken from me very early on but not early enough for me to forget. I'm sorry man. Thanks for rapping with me about though. have a good day brother man.
