the ordinary days

let us remember the days when empty coffee mugs left rings on the table. when we stayed up late talking on a weeknight & left the living room in disarray. when we had the luxury of being able to buy a space heater to warm us up, it blew a fuse, and we had to run an ugly orange cord to keep our office functioning. when the sun streamed in the windows & the succulents bent imperfectly to its rays. when the white hairs began to mingle with the red of your beard. when our favourite second hand chair burst holes in its cover that's how much our kitty loved it. when we thought we knew it all & loved each other to the ends of our limits, but really had no idea. when the rains poured down and there was water enough for the garden and the weeds to share.our everyday / january 2015
