Because We Are Married
We have this idea to put
our bed on the lawn so we never
have to make it. When it is on
the lawn it is covered in
pear blossoms and lilacs
and we don’t make it.
While I am in the shed
practicing my shrine
building your mother calls
and says Married people make
their beds. I am going to cut
some lilacs for the table. Call
your mother and tell
her what we’ve learned
from sleeping outside. How
even in summer it gets cold
before it rains.
