up before dawn, dental appointment on my mind
stomach aflutter with nerves
a cup of tea and nothing else
fresh snow and frigid temperatures
slow driving on icy roads
hands gripping the wheel
morning moon a communion wafer
ice fog on the peaks
let it be over soon in my thoughts
home - relief
a little poorer and worse for wear
tooth needs a crown
I need a rest
bear-y glad it's over
until next time...
(for those who read my stone about my broken tooth, my dentist and his wife had a healthy baby boy)
