two sweet girls slumber on my pullout couch
a salad serving bowl full of roasted pumpkin seeds sits on the kitchen counter
the sink is full of pumpkin-gut covered carving utensils
mugs ringed with sticky leftovers of hot cider hang out all around the house
shoes are scattered near the front door
newspapers litter the living room floor
I went to bed at 1 am and left three lovely ladies watching Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson fall in love
their laughter made me smile in my slumber
the puppy kept watch over them all night from the big purple chair – she never came to bed
the watch-cat stared out the window scanning the shadows for mischief-makers
no one had ever been so well guarded
how wonderful that people are comfortable enough at chez moi to be overjoyed

hermanzoon, dear one that you are - you did indeed miss the carving party. there are still 13 pumpkins at my house. once you're done with your show come visit and carve until your heart is happy.
