Filtering
The drudgery of chores keeps me busy,
unable to unwind even just for a day;
It’s usually a whirlwind of obligation,
to stay home and do household chores.
With my parents and grannies long gone,
I’m left to organize my schedule this time,
it’s a question of priority that ought to be done;
at least once a week or to do it twice a week.
Fate moves me quick into this kind of work,
but with a sight to filter other tasks at hand;
I see the spark of endless chores at my side
cleaning or washing done at the same time.
Of course, there’s a moment for relaxation,
right after the run-of-the-mill endeavor
which steps through the doors to leave,
and take a breather as part of my recreation..
Perhaps the so-called ‘adega’ may work
to share with some friends during meals;
It’s something that I’ve never done before
to taste the variety of wine served on the table.
I need to filter some remnants of temptation;
these are sometimes irresistible to deny
but like those who’re inclined to drink wine,
it’s no problem but just take it one at a time.
