Three days instead of the usual two
A long weekend and the particular view
Of the Friday evening stretching further
Than the ordinary into the nurture
Of the extra morning, the bonus day
That the calendar decided on its way
Through the year to give us, and I took
The long weekend like an offered book
The long weekend, one more day to find
The long weekend, the particular kind
Of time that feels both same and more
The long weekend and its open door
To the slower and the unscheduled and
The reading and the walking and the hand-
Made version of the days we have
The long weekend is the better half
I didn't plan it all the way through
Which was the entire point of the two
Extra mornings with their soft arrival
A long weekend isn't about survival
Of the to-do list, it's about the space
Between the things, the in-between face
Of time that only shows when you have more
Of it than usual, the long weekend's floor
The long weekend, one more day to find
The long weekend, the particular kind
Of time that feels both same and more
The long weekend and its open door
To the slower and the unscheduled and
The reading and the walking and the hand-
Made version of the days we have
The long weekend is the better half
Monday will return on its own schedule
Without my help, and all the usual
Resumptions will resume in their own time
But the long weekend has its particular rhyme
Of the additional and the given space
Of a three-day rest at its own pace
The world will not have missed my effort much
The long weekend and its gentle touch
By Sunday evening something had relaxed
That usually stays in the tensed and taxed
Position through the working of the week
And I could feel the difference, so to speak
Of the three days and what they had released
In the general vicinity of the eased
And the restored, the long weekend's gift
Three days and the very gentle lift
The long weekend, one more day to find
The long weekend, the particular kind
Of time that feels both same and more
The long weekend and its open door
To the slower and the unscheduled and
The reading and the walking and the hand-
Made version of the days we have
The long weekend is the better half
Monday's coming but it's Sunday now
The long weekend and its graceful bow
Into the ordinary week ahead
The long weekend, and I'm good instead
