the ache of limb and back

the ache of limb and back
sleepless i stumble
to caffeine  blast
peculates yesterdays
fast pace provide
supper full house
of twenty three T-bone steaks
twenty three caesar salads
sixty pounds of wings
burgers and baked potatoes
as happy customers bring their plates
to kitchen to wash dishes
and then pay their bill.

a wondrous event starts the long weekend
fishing people from all over
every year they come laugh and celebrate.

I recall yesterday, from waving to you and the kids
goodbye to a crazy evening preparing food to beating the train home to find you walking down to greet me. i curled up with you.
