Tomorrow

Tomorrow

I will take the time to linger by the lake,

To touch my toe tips to its cool surface and watch the flash of fish

Slip beneath the weeds.

Tomorrow I will pluck a daisy, counting off the petals,

Each one a vindication or a soft rejection, who needs that kind of

Fickle love anyway?

Tomorrow I will bake the bread, rolling and kneading and

Watching it rise, the smell of warm yeasty goodness almost making me

Swoon with giddiness.

Tomorrow I will honor the friends whose days were cut short,

I’ll wear patchouli on my wrists and dress in a gypsy skirt, maybe with bells

Announcing my arrival.

Tomorrow
