Two Hours

is a lifetime

“How was your day?”
Fine. It was a day. Are you hungry?
“I thought we could just have some of last night’s chicken.”
Sounds good to me. I love you.
“I love you.”

An owl screeches in the rainy twilight

Gray foxes pounce on a vole

Fireflies mate on the windowsill

Nothing good on TV
We hold hands and stare for awhile
smiling together
then go to bed

without moments for regret
