The bunking housewife

At home and it's all quiet.
It's just me here
for today and tonight.

The dishwasher's hum,
the heating's too.
Are reminders of things I have to do.

The washing,
and cleaning.
The scrubbing and dusting.

The sorting of clothes,
books,
photos, 
and thoughts.

Everything can wait a 24 hours
Today is for lazying.
