Maybe too much matches to quit courtship, we’ll reckon. So, take my sore hand and I'll lead you, blind and prideful, back to the bench where we fell, this moment between willows. It was within “this" we tore bread, our fragile sacrament, blessing the nearby birdsongs – Swan, heron, and turkey – with longevity. Like them, let me keep you fed and giggling.
