Rest

When I take time-out 

slow down

I see the the dust balls, laundry and piles 

piles of books

piles of notes

piles of incomplete

and rest deepens

into depression

I tinker with these posts

for which I took time-out 

before today.

I fill in some. I modify the punctuation.

I find scraps of me.

The clock ticks 

Task to-be-done.

Embrace the day.
