Overdue

I slept until noon today

Ocassionally repositioning

In the bed of a lover

Delighted I was getting

Overdue rest

I dripped sweat today

Heating my muscles, skin, breath

In the santuary of my home

Delighted I was getting

Overdue exercise

I fed myself today

Overcooking items slightly

In my steam-filled kitchen

Delighted I was getting

Overdue nutrients

I cared for my needs today

Happily making time

In my schedule for myself

Delighted I was getting

Overdue time alone
