Holiday

The 8:30 am voice from outside the bedroom door said rather than asked
“Do you want me to eat breakfast alone”.

He held me and whispered “This isn't really a vacation for you is it”
And I know he understands.

Now,
I want to
rearrange my belongings,
light candles,
burn incense,
put on the music,
take baths, and
generally lie about
and not talk to anyone (just maybe look into his eyes)
or get properly dressed
for 24 hours

or maybe 48.
