These two women
Names on my calendar
Waiting
A small reminder
In the crazy of the day
Still
All the expectations
The distractions
And the urge
To crawl back into the den
But out come the shoes
The scarf
The keys
The door
The goodbye
The restaurant
The table
The hello
The smiles
The laughter
The talking
The wincing
The anger
The frustration
The nods of understanding
We know
We linger
We order dessert
Butterscotch pudding
With these two women
