Fridays are my days off. And yet,
this one begins with a meeting
followed by another over coffee
followed by a luncheon to talk
about the latest real estate deal
followed with a visit to the hospital.
The afternoon will give me time
for a brief nap and a short read
and then back to day-off work
as things left undone throughout
the week remain and must be done
before the next week begins.
Perhaps the evening will provide
space and moments for breathing
without demands or needs.
And then the promise of rest.
