building tension,
boiling
must stay calm, not too eager
stay focused on the Now, in this present moment
enjoy the feast when it comes but it is not Now.
It is not here, yet
things must be soft, and dry,
for now.
/
sleep must happen.
intimacy shared is not yet
a phantom ache fills sacks
overcooked pasta that wants to become rigid
Breathe deeply,
keep the blood flowing.
ease the tension
Breathe deeply
relax the muscles
that day is not today.
That moment is not now
focus on the now
