Footstool
















After a trying day
I like to lay
sprawled out on a chair
with a footstool
at my feet to rest my legs
while I reflect on my mistakes
and clear the synapses in my brain,
like a praying mantis
careful and meticulous,
so that I can stand
and face my enemies
and not snap the heads off
those I love.

A glass of wine and then I'm ready
to face the world again.
