a level of compatibility that is
distinguished and ascertainablw,
it is so so more than
finishing each other’s sentences,
it is answering them, before
they are next to be spoken,
inducting a wondrous expression
that is a potpourri of amaze,
a beloving of how, never why,
a growling tender from back of
the throat, that speaks of come
hither, and a challenge, tell me
what I’m thinking, whispering
come ever closer,
all par for the early moments of
just awoken eye rubbing confusion,
we skip the hello’s and proceed
direct to my beloved, that never
grows yellowing just mellowing
after nearly two
decades
she offers me breakfast choices
well advertised, in a different
order, thinking I won’t notice,
which I pretend they are entirely
nouveau, weighing the merits of
each before, of approving
a ritualistic only love poem of her
composing, though she reminds
lunch will be five ounces of onion
coated, cream cheese whipped,
and an assortment of fish from
the North Atlantic,
ergo, she is saying
go my
darling within your constraints,
for she knows the side to side
head shakes
my evaluation and stil
agress agrees,
that I will bring but, another ember
long last heating and she rewards
my decision with knotted nods of
a certifying agreement, that my right
role of agreer-in-chief, has made a
wiser kinder correct(ed) contribution
