Light a candle

Light a candle. All the dishes are done.
All the books are stacked.
underwear, socks, 12 pairs of dark denim

and every single shoe
is put away.

take a bath,
shave your legs
drink a shivering cold beer.
find the honeymoon perfume
and put it to good use.

draw up
the unkempt hair into a
messy wet bun.

Relish. everything.

light a candle. life is born
every menial task
every spec of dust
all the wander lust
all of the cluttered living receipts

all those
empty baby bottles (clean) by the sink. say

I love you.

I love you, too.
