Kashmir

I am running out of make-up remover

I need more progesterone cream

I would like to cook a shepard's pie

on Sunday

what am I going to do about all these bills

silly thoughts

compared to the looks on their faces

put a veil

over my head

and send me to Kashmir

 it could be my father

yelling for help

staring back at me

my mother holding on

my brother afraid

or I could be the father

or the mother

or the brother

there are always those 

in the world

at any given moment

who need to borrow a heart

a prayer

and some compassion.
