Tiny love

Real and big are not the same word

Ties his hair back with my hair tie

Eats the soup I made

Will call from work to tell me NPR said...and I know you love...and do we need...and I love you.

A road trip is time for our show

We both know

But we ask each time.

Is the way to live a life so full of joy just this?

Hair ties and soup and a road trip rite of way

And love, it's all just love.

Our webs of self

The bits of life that fall

Hair and dirt and skin cell

We can know who made them, but who cares, now?

The dust is our dust

The love is our love

The way I take my tea is his

I can tug on any line and move the web

This way and that

But it will stay

Ours

Sure

Calm

Live

Home.

Our hair tie lays by the bed.

Our soup is in a bowl.

Our car ride will have our show.

Our life will be full of love, tiny love.
