I want the books found and stacked
I want both of my childrens' beds made high and fluffy with thick comforters and pillows and stuffed rabbits and sunshine
I want my room painted pink with a tall pink and red flowered bed I have to crawl up into
I want all new clothing soft flannel yellows and dotted things
I want never to see or feel this again
I want no ceiling
I want fresh air
I want clean square ice cubes
I want no gifts
I want no drugs to dull me you think I'm better on them but I'm just more shut up so I don't bother you but it's not better
I want no cold only palm heat sand drench my feet
I want this taste gone
I want a fat cat to lie on my back while I lay face down on a large clean comforter that's a peace green with white embroidery
And Bach
I want my mother to make it so
I want this to end but I can't see it
I want to be there to hang all your pictures and stack all your books
ReplyDeleteI want to make up V&F's beds all fluffy and cute
I want to paint your room fresh and clean and adorn it with new linens and fill a vase with beautiful ranunculus flowers
I want to whisk you away from all of this and take a walk along the Cape Cod National Seashore then return to a roaring fire and cozy blankets and tea
I want you to gather strength to endure the last treatment
I want to have the most fabulous Spicy Vacation when you are on the other side of this nightmare
I want you to have peace
I want you to keep writing
I want you to heal
I love you
Perfect
DeleteI can bring over the cuddly cat....
ReplyDeleteme too. but there will be a time when you can enjoy doing all those things yourself. this will end. i wish i could make it end now. we have to wait.
ReplyDeleteYes true - I know this - just sometimes blather it out there uncensored
DeleteIt's the most damned eloquent blathering I have ever read.
