BLOG HOPPING TODAY WITH

unshod after
 a day at the library
 research hours
left to mesh of tomorrow  
exploring 

she always wore
her mesh stockings on Fridays
for happy hour
a barista takes time off
 to go bar hopping

slipping off her shoes
in her empty house
she reaches for
a glass of merlot chilled
savoring her blessings
