Morning after blues


Lying in bed in the morning 
Remembering dinner the night before, 
Worrying… 
Does everyone do this? 
Analyze the subtle cues 
We may have missed in last night’s gathering? 
Wonder if we talked too much or too little, 
Said something wrong or laughed too loud 
Or failed to include someone in the conversation… 
As light slowly fills the room I raise the blinds. 
The haze that drifts over the mountain 
Has already faded away by the end of this poem, 
But the unease lingers.
