everydaylife

The pile of dishes diminish
The counter slick with suds
Your arms encircle me from behind

Dogs race and sniff
Their leashes tangle
Your hand warms mine

My shift crawls by
Through tantrums and defiance
Your message interrupts with love

Dirty clothes piled on the bed
Press into my back
Your form rises and falls above

Life passes a day at a time
Some with laughter, all with imperfection
Your life blending with mine
