I like the word oval and for breakfast an egg that's brown and speckled like my hand that taps gently with spoon on shell. A child at heart I cut the toast to soldier boys.
My wife believes in exercise and buys organic food. In winter rain she walks with yellow Labrador and locks the door should I forget because I lost her gloves
and now her hands are cold, her sable hair flecked with snow. Childless we've grown old. |
