Sigh (Psalm 38:9)

Boot-print-shaped sighs trudge through living room 
before sanity strikes and traipses back the long way again
Mud-caked truck treads roll over sighing carpet fibres 
who see another day of moderately effective scrubbing 
Trail of drips and drops lead mockingly 
to near-flooded grey-brown soupy sink 
that sighs as it tries to drain
Where their trying makes things messier
Or my trying makes things messier
Bible in hand, diapers checked along the way
almost to the window spot when I am caught
And I sigh
And He sees
