Away for the Weekend


~ by Nancy


Saturday
Breakfast for all
Such a little thing
It pleased me so to do it
Setting out with you
A lantern
Love
I’m sure our love lit the way

Choosing crystals for the children
Vincent
Look at this
And that one
Catherine
Let me help you reach it


Our picnic basket
Catered
Oatmeal cookies without raisins
I can bake
The wine you poured
Your toast
To me
Mine
To us

Sparkle
The cavern’s
Welcome and warmth
Yours

All the long way back
Hand in hand
Whispers in the silence
I like the silence of Below
I like
The thoughts you whisper
More
I’ve begun to hate
Every
Comfortable
Guest chamber


Sunday morning
Time
For family

Later
Time for us
For our farewells
Sad farewells

Vincent
I live for weekends away
With you
