This morn‘ at the Badener Hof
The table at the dining room
Was set quite differently.
However.
Eva and Nina were not present
Although they are always
Early birds.
But then I realized that eating
Breakfast alone was indeed
A lonesome affair.
Yet the poet in me took his
Notebook and pen.
Well.
I went up to the first floor
Knocked at Eva’s door and
She opened.
‘I missed you at the table’.
‘OH OK’. She said. ‘Thanks
For caring’.
‘Well. As long as you are OK’.
‘I’ve doodled along too much
This morning’. She replied.
‘Now then get going!’
I nudged her along.
‘Remember therapists start
On the dot and won’t be that
Flexible for latecomers’.
