Expecting

We are mostly home now,

sitting around in our underwear

or the elastic waisted pajama pants

we let no one but each other see. 

Heating pad and the blanket

my granny made journey nightly

from couch to bed and in the morning

back again. There are three positions

for sleep - two require my arms -

and only one is comfortable so I

let her stay there until my arm 

sleeps as hard as she does. 

We are drooling with anticipation.
