GRIZZLY PEAR

written snapshots

It took a long process to earn an evening’s read.

We borrowed them Saturday;
Mama wanted to wait for a week.

Six days later;
Is Friday close enough?

I spread out the books on the patio;
Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

The sun set;
Bring them in tomorrow.

Mama wants to flip them over;
Wipe them down.

Saturday we visited to Costco;
The kids hugged stuffies while shopping.

The sun set;
A full week gone.

We went back to the library;
Sunday Taiko drum concert!

Got more books;
Shopped for groceries.

The sun set;
Another day.

Monday breakfast came with wailing;
Way past a week!

Mama flipped them over;
Wiped them down.

The sun set;
I brought them in.

Two kids, sprawled out;
Reading in their room.
