you sat sadly on the futon thinking I wanted to go back to Texas because I was venting about having to make green bean casserole without pepper or a measuring cup or aluminum foil you thought I wanted to break up with you because I told you I was weak and caving under from all the stress you didn't understand my anger too long suppressed thought it was directed at you so I caught myself stopped myself sat down beside you gave you the comfort I can't give myself it's all trivial and petty and will soon pass in the long run what does it matter that we are building up our meager household one dollar store item at a time all the exes and their hexes and the disapproving family members in Texas everything melts beneath us and we are standing inside our shelter our true embrace and this morning I teased you again with Whose Lion is it, Anyway? He's My Lion! Best Lion on the Veldt! we have been tested before and failed been mismatched slapped down by karma spent too many hellish nights with the wrong partners dancing our bad luck on broken glass now we've found each other and it feels belated but being mated at last is our reward. |
