Soon and Very Soon
puddles in potholes
damp cool morning will burn
before monsoon busts open
achy stiff start per usual
body creaks to the bathroom
teeth brushed face splashed
hair undisheveling--attempted
throw on a cap, shorts and a tee
triple shot breve lubricates
enough for brain function
and creak-free movement
shoulders and core bask
in the pleasant glory of yesterday's golf
a quite satisfying round
so much so, I'm a little dehydrated
good to golf with son
good to help him get far away
from where he's been
(why we thank them)
good we still talk like we do
takes some time to get back home
even after the big reunion
he's still him and what's still there
will make it's way back
when he's through
worrying about everyone else
up at the ranch with the coati's
and his in-laws
is a good place to be
for a day or two
just what his soul
needs to wake up to
life is good
there's puddles in potholes
and more monsoon around the corner
soon and very soon
waterfalls will spill down canyon walls
and the river will run dry--no more
