Poems
Dec 2013
She caught me cleaning the countertops
She caught me cleaning the countertops
in the kitchen,
coffee stains and crumbs of
corn chex
needing removal and
crunchy disposal.
she came unexpected.
off to shower, she had said.
she watched silently,
then wept copiously,
bawling as if it were the first time,
tears and copious were married.
what! what did I do?
you cleaned the countertops,
reminding me why
I love you.
I lent her my paper towel,
for surely she needed it now
more than those countertops.
