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’.
