without a clear plan
for how to spend
his post-adrenaline
Sunday afternoon
he wound his way
through wide circles
puttering on
minutes
becoming hours
laughed over lunch
with good friends
came home to prep
a simple dinner
marinated meat
cleaned up the mess
built a dessert
seasoned some veg
cleaned some more
lit the coals
cooked on two grills
whilst intermittently
cleaning a third
scrubbing
sanding
polishing
while the smoke
rose up
with bellies full
his kids
rode bikes
smiles pushing
warm air
underneath
a wide sunset
