shelter

he scooped a place out of the dirt
and with his hands showed me
how warm we'd be there,
just a hole in the ground
with leaves and branches for a roof.
how easy it can all be.

we agreed on kitchen colors,
the benefits of chiropractic
and camping in the snow.
our affair would not be tragic.

he scooped a place out of the dirt
and even though it was 20 degrees outside
his hands were warm.
