TIME WILL TELL

Grace Cram

 

i am getting tired of these routine Sundays

these fights on the way to church days

these “just reheat the leftovers” days

these watching tv in different rooms days

these repeating the same uninspired prayer days

these yelling over the kitchen table days

 

a cat who haunts the same spots nightly

a dog who turns round and round before lying down

an eagle orbiting its nest

pelicans spiraling down to their catch

 

the rain streams down in sheets.

i am stuck underneath mine.
