I stay at home
All day,
Constantly working,
Translating Japanese to Engish
And vice versa.

My husband
Goes to work early,
The sky, a dark grey.
My children
Leave for school,
Light in the sky.

Alone
With the hyper dog.
He jumps around,
I make breakfast.

My plate of hot food
And coffee, 
Placed on my desk.
Sitting at the computer
All day,
Working away.

My children come home,
Straight to their rooms.

I am tired,
Yet,
I have to prepare dinner.

I find myself at the computer 
Again.
I grow tired.
I stop typing.

I prepare myself for bed;
Roll out the futon; 
Falling asleep quickly.

The cycle repeats itself
In the morning.
