Grocery List

Daffodils for the table
peaches and a little jar of cream
Seven Grain bread and farm-fresh eggs
six blueberry muffins
and mix for the Tequila Sunrise . . . 
oh, yes, she better get some milk
for maybe in the morning
he will stay awhile
to linger over breakfast
and she can keep him with her
for just an hour more . . . 
she'll fry his eggs and ask him
if he wants more toast
and pour him black coffee
in the mug marked HIS
the way she's done
for all the other mornings
silently crying, "Please"
while she waits for him to say
"I'll phone you"
and choking back the fear
