Missed the morning’s yoghurt.
Walked right past the fridge
and didn’t grab one to go.
Didn’t stand at the counter
a minute to breathe, eat,
relax a moment
before heading out.

Sore throat persisted tonight.
No sleep for it.
Thought persisted.
Take the moment
breathe,
stand at the counter,
and eat the yoghurt.
Back in bed,
sleep.
