Head Cold

ideally
we would be someplace warmer
and there would be sweet fruity drinks
that took us by surprise
and knocked us flat on our butts
but not before dancing
and loving
spinning
running
under a color splashed sky
and there would be a ruby engagement ring
on my finger
because diamonds are cold
and the ruby is your birthstone

but what we have is now
both of us scared and humbled
trying to make it work in our small apartment
with your walker
and wheelchair
all plans on hold

we hold on to each other
delighting in the miracle of us
more than most people got
and god knows
we are
grateful.
