THE VIEW

The kiddos 

are at the park.

I'd doing dishes

by hand,

no dishwasher.

I love 

the blue soap

it makes

my dishes

sing.

A strange ache though.

I don't know

this view.

Nothing is

familiar.

A tinge

of sadness.

A smattering

of lonliness.

Hope

I look 

at my plants,

and pour them 

banana tea...
