domesticity, or at home on earth

i love the
hum of the world
with us in it.

the way we light a
room from the inside
of our hearts.

our bodies, like
water mixing in a
tub.

our smiles, welcoming
angels.

in sickness & in
health we’ll be
together.

together––
that’s the only way.

it’s lovely
being home on earth
with you––

& kissing you in
heaven, at the same
time.
