marriage




"The doors open both ways",
you always said.
And so I used the door
to come in
cook for you 
wash your dirty woolen socks
powder your expanding bald patch
giggle at your silly attempts
to be serious
and
maintain our sacred spaces.

Marriage
and the family
we grew
has been my freedom
from having to decide
who to love.
