Following coffee
my Saturday slow starting
pauses yet again
Cathartic indecision
rules and I’m happy with that
For this is my rest
Snoozing may well play a part
staring into space
and doing little except
drinking coffee and resting
Music plays a part
as will reading and a game
or another snooze
For this is my Saturday
mine to do with as I choose

Saturday
Arrives and
Tiredness fades
Until
Refreshingly
Diminished
Another week of
Yesterdays pass

Saturday drifting
Slow down now and slip away
The week is at end

Arrives and
Tiredness fades
Until
