Basekamp Laundry Mountain

Sitting in the quiet that is early morning at my house
Sitting
Lifting the first cup of the pot of coffee I will drink today

I should be making peanut butter formula
I should be readying the medications I need to start soon to be ready for OT by the time she arrives for my son

Instead I am sitting
Sitting & savoring
& working to quiet the questions that run through my head
To quiet the spasms that grip my neck
To quiet the “should be”s

For 5 minutes a day,
I need the quiet
