Kerri Shying R #658 - The New Territories

The New Territories

your heart  glaring from the screen
don't feed my cat cheese

like I never raised you
and I'm so slighty amused

leaning in
    with love

the way  you move a full breast
to the angry mouth of a squalling baby
who with one hand
is punching  hard     it was smart of you
to arrive  
covered in guilt at the door
kitten in one hand     mate with newborn
peeking out behind you

I threw your  flea bag
to the floor
it skittered
ran
the chihuahua
at her heels

baby      fresh
his soft chamois head warm
as the shower I never get

fretful anxious me now
spending time
working out what to do about

getting up   eating     how
to get the money for
another day

here    is mist    baby head
a powder puff
putting on my makeup
sewing pockets in new places
all of them full of fresh minted coin

the future  comes around  more often
than you think
you imagine  it takes longer
to get the picture
