The Colour of Tuesday
Tuesday smells like coffee left cooling
on a desk by someone
who had to rush away.
It has the texture of half-read emails
and the weight of good intentions
not yet acted on.
Tuesday is the day we believe
we will catch up.
We will not catch up.
But Tuesday lets us believe it.
That is Tuesday's gift.
Not certainty.
Not Monday's brave beginning
or Friday's relief.
Just the generous, unhurried belief
that there is still time.
I have always loved Tuesday.
It is the day that forgives you
for yesterday
without asking you to explain.
