Living Together, Bending Together

It is good

to have the eyeliner pencils on the sink,

leg razors in the shower,

yellow underwear on the tile.

It is good

to hear her quietly snore

as her feet barely touch mine.

It is good

to eat chicken and corn,

and leave for work in the morning 

with a kiss.

It is good

to make love when we can

and dream about it on the days we can't.
