eating yellow squash
from a yellow bowl
eating healthy foods
setting healthy goals
brewing some tea
and brewing some thoughts
steam rises from the cup
and rises from the pot
creamy tea soothing my throat
buttery squash melts in my mouth
everything is still
there is peace in the house
sad puppy eyes look up at me
tiny little tongue licks my knee
you won't like this squash
it's not for dogs
it's for grown up girls
who work hard at their jobs
and come home to a house
quiet and still
sit down at the table
with tea and with squash
with pots in the sink
that i have yet to wash
and a head full of thoughts
that i have yet to squash
