28/365

i need inspiration to get this one off the ground.
i move to the bedroom
grab the novel i’m reading
mine a line
to get things started.

once in the room
the light of our
permanent plastic mini
christmas tree
and the whiff of
a homemade
cherry merlot candle
are calm and soothing

i execute push ups
60-90 of the daily 100
only 10 left before bed
that’s a 100 a day for 393 days
but the middle-aged gut
still feels foreign on this former skinny body.

i grab the book and flip it randomly:h

her eyes sour with animal confusion.

what the hell do you expect me to do with that?
the cats were angry
when we all got home after dark
sitting in the silence
pacing
moaning
perhaps with sour
animal
confused
eyes
