stretching

what stretches??

a rubber band
the elastic waist on a skirt
a cat
a yoga pose
my jaw, in a yawn
a dollar, month after month
holly's piano fingers
a violin string
the lingering smell of lilacs
a loving heart
a longing heart
the end of a phone conversation
the last minutes of my work shift

me

i am feeling stretched
between
children
friends
parents
boyfriend
work
church

and time with myself
with god

take a bath
but feel guilty for the time
wonder
if exercise would have been wiser

invite "him" over while i am with the kids
and don't give enough attention to anyone

maybe i thrive in chaos
in stretching
in wondering if
i can be enough
for enough
not one more thing
not one less
but one enough
