The week before ………

 

It’s here.....it’s here .....finally , the crimson flow 

The veil has lifted , my thoughts are clear 

There is relief for 3 weeks ahead I hope 

Until I get to the week before ......

 

And then I may forget 

Live the 3 weeks or so 

As if it may not happen again 

Until I get to the week before ……..

 

We argue and we disagree 

It’s almost always a trivial thing 

Neither of us able to let go 

It always happens in that week before ……

 

And so I got to know myself better 

Marking the traffic lights in my calendar 

So I could expect and manage the chaos or conflict both internal and external 

That would always be part of my life 

In that inevitable week before ……..
