bedtime

so thankful for this job.
happy to be here
hiding my heart behind this green apron
grinding away my thoughts with the coffee beans.
happy to be avoiding awkward moments at home
though i miss my kids
miss putting them to bed,
saying our prayers,
kissing them goodnight.
like one day i'll be on my death bed,
saying,
yep, i'm glad i missed out on my children's bedtimes
so i could avoid being there.
then i'll die.
