Tethered

Sibley Hospital Lament

Lying in a sixth floor hospital bed
staring into the dark sky
I watch pinpoints of yellow light
follow the Potomac River
like moving stars
toward their Reagan destination
wishing I too was riding high
rather than being tethered here.

Thank goodness I'm just tethered temporarily. Surgery went well. Looking forward to coming in a day or two. Thanks for all the get well wishes. Love gettinfg those emails on my iPhone,

Watch for me back on the blog tomorrow.
