Knowing You Might Some Day Come

Knowing you might some day come and how unprepared I’ve always been like Mr. Sloppy in Charles Dickens’ our Mutual Friend I made a list: not meat, vegetables, beer and pudding but number l, warmth. number 2, warmth. number 3, warmth. number 4, a good snuggler. number 5, someone who sings while he/she works. number 6, a dancer. number 7, someone who grows & is intrigued by the mind. And by the spirit too. Number 7, someone who is loved by animals; and loves them back without a thought. number 8, someone who smells delicious. number 9, someone whose anger lasts no longer than mine. number 10, someone who stands beside me. behind me. If necessary in front of me. number 11, someone who is a passable cook. number 12, Someone who laughs a lot, thinks I have a fine sense of humor & has friends. number 13, someone who can be original in dress: stylish warlock –In silver, lapis & black – to my witch.
