Catching Up
Pictures and Words, Poetry by Anna Rhieza Rallos, Mary Lou Caharian | April 12th, 2009

Lazy Saturday afternoons
To catch up on rest.
Hectic Monday mornings
To catch up on work.
Heavy, sweaty scrubbings
To catch up on cleaning.
Lengthy, newsy letters
To catch up with friends.
Planned week-end outings
To catch up with family.
Long, passionate embraces
To catch up on love.
Why am I always catching up?
