this life gives us only so many hours
to share & how we share, i worry,
is wasteful-Sunday night & the tv on,
so we don’t look at each other.
on screen some reality tv stars
threaten to choke each other out.
my love, we are bad television,
happy as we are to hold hands
& eat greasy pizza together
during these small breaths
before Monday arrives like a fist.
— Josè Olivarez, “Sunday Love” in “Promises of Gold” (Henry Holt & Company, February 14, 2023) (via Alive on All Channels)
Oh man… this is too true.
🙂
Not my idea of an ideal Sunday – but then, my Mondays are no longer arriving like a fist.
LUCKY YOU!
Thanks for sharing this idea Anita
Thanks for dropping by!

Pizza? Sorry not even on TGIF.
Laughing.
Cozy Sundays – have always been a favorite day…reading, snoozing, football season (a throwback to watching football with my dad on Sundays)…comfortable conversations…slow cooker doing its thing…there’s something sacred about Sundays…
Esp if you don’t have working Mondays!!!!!
He said that so well.
He did. And so relatable.
A great message, love it.
IT IS!!! And so true.
I love, love Sundays, so what if Monday arrives with an open hand, instead?
If Only!!!!
Love.
Me too!!!!
and adding football season/matches, even televisions just open for the football games, we have two tv and they are all playing footballs from different channels,… Thank you dear David, have a nice week, Love, nia
Thank you, you too!
…sometimes, we fall asleep, holding hands…
This is a great song:
Etta James singing a “Sunday Kind of Love”
