Succeeding our adventure in the freeze,
commuting icy, waiting for a bus
in wind that nearly knocked us to our knees,
and anxious after with the tire fuss
(for no one could respond to succor us),
we lost some sleep and didn’t venture far;
we called repeatedly about the car;
we tried to cheer until we cheered for real.
The flat repaired, we went to RRR,
and then we savored a rewarding meal.

I wonder why I stayed up hours late –
was it digestive issues, or did I
have poorly-mixed emotions on my plate?
I wonder why.

At last I slept, and felt an answer try
to influence my dreams and penetrate
my waking thoughts, and start to clarify.

This coming week I’ll want to give more weight
to other subjects – listen, aid, apply
attention out. Then I won’t need to state,
I wonder why.
