Dedicated to my husband and partner, Jason, on this St. Valentines Day…
I want both of us
To start talking about this great love
As if you, I and the Sun were all married
And living in a tiny room,
Helping each other to cook,
Do the wash,
Weave and sew,
Care for our beautiful
Animals.
We all leave each morning
To labor on earth’s field.
No one does not lift a great pack.
I want both of us to start singing like two
Traveling minstrels
About this extraordinary existence
We share,
As if
You, I and God were all married
And living in
A tiny
Room.
