Good Morning Sestina

Monday

For an hour the sun has been over

that ridge. Pass the milk.

Girls you need to stop..

Can you get your sister?

Ok, time to go.

Now, no one is here.

Tuesday

Its so cold in here.

Winter isn't over.

Tell her we need to go

soon. Is there any milk?

Will you walk your sister

to the bus stop?

Wednesday

I said stop!

We need to clean up in here.

You and your sister...

Please scoot over

Put away the milk!

And away they go

Thursday

After they all go

there is this sudden stop.

On the table is a puddle of milk.

Something lessens in here,

deflates somewhat when it's over -

that riot of brothers and sisters

Friday

I think that's your sister's...

Can we all go

over there after school is over?

Do you think you can stop

on your way back here

and just pick up some milk?

Saturday

Shower. Bacon. Buttermilk

batter. A whisk stirs.

Newspaper. Did you hear

that two years ago...

Coffee cups topped

off. I need six letters, ends O-V-E-R.

Sunday

My brothers and sisters, we need to spill the milk of our kindness over and over everything here as we go, because it really won't ever stop.
