Sunbeams across countertop
warming the surface
littered with the effluvia
of a busy life.
It looks almost inviting.
and she wants to bask
in the warm inviting glow from
the kitchen sink window.
Nothing left to do
but tidy the mess like a person
who has the essense
of a satisfied housekeeper
to impress the visitor who will
visit her and not even notice
the work she put into making
the house homey.
Will he notice the effort?
Or will he prefer to notice the
serenity and calm that envolops
her as she moves about in her
accomplishment,
waiting to introduce
the man to her life and
hoping he finds
it welcoming.
