Repletion Mode — An Other’s Day Poem

©May 11th, 2014

By Vijaya Sundaram

 

Mother Day yawns

I lie in bed.

Birds unfold the day.

I lie in bed.

Sounds of household peeling.

I lie in bed.

Sunshine splintering.

I lie in bed.

Cup of coffee in husband’s hand.

Bounce of daughter and dog on bed.

I arise, a sea creature,

From torpid dreams.

Tiredness rears over me

I drown in enervation.

Yet, slowly, slowly,

Depletion mode gives way,

Slowly getting replete again,

Slowly, slowly now.

Oh, so slowly.

I sit up and hug my child.

It’s Other’s Day.
