two sugars

the left hand side of the couch

the right hand side

of the bed

eggs over easy

the driving at night

the tax return

washing the dishes

and drying

love is

building a house

tiling the floor

taking out the garbage

feeding the cats

and salad

without

avo

love is

the little things

underwear on the floor

hair in the plug

the vegetable garden

and the sand pile out front

love is

nothing you thought,

more subtle

than roses.

quieter

than celine dion

love is

the early morning,

love is

the moment

between moments

the silence

between words

the second glance

love

is

that little thing

a penny

in the road

you bend over

pick it up

and life changes

forever
