goddess is in the details

it's the mundane
little
details i exult in
like the way you slice
the chicken
and chop the lettuce
for the salad
and then how we eat
never saying grace
because we already
know there's more
to be thankful for
than we could even
begin
to express
though we'll never
stop trying
as later on we sit
on your couch and talk
while the desert
evening
comes on slow
outside
like the mountain lion
creeping up
somewhere
behind you
unseen
as you follow
the trail
deeply familiar yet
always new
that winds
along
the canyon
whose ending you'll
never reach
or would even
want to
