blueberry waffles
begin a windy spring day
end of sleepovers

playground half empty
we watch cormorants build nests
wait for timeliness

it comes with patience
for people nothing like us
who make Rio grin

oldest gets her wish
while younger two learn to sew
with grandma’s guidance

kids’ clothes for one buck
the gift Goodwill offers me
shorts for all summer

medium rare steak
(vegetarian’s nightmare)
my chef-made dream meal

so ends my Sunday
sister talk moves toward kindness
summer dreams await
