Angie/ A Poem For 2 Years
We have seen the sun rise 730 times
Each one has been more beautiful than the last
I wonder sometimes if such beauty can go on forever
When I look at our photograph set up like an altar to us I know the answer is yes
I know the answer is that we never were or pretended to be perfect so our union is solid
I need no paper to tell me how beautiful you are
Or how to make roti
Or that I suck at doing the dishes
Or that I love to learn from you
I have no needs except for food, water, shelter, sleep
And to tell you that I love you
Each one has been more beautiful than the last
I wonder sometimes if such beauty can go on forever
When I look at our photograph set up like an altar to us I know the answer is yes
I know the answer is that we never were or pretended to be perfect so our union is solid
I need no paper to tell me how beautiful you are
Or how to make roti
Or that I suck at doing the dishes
Or that I love to learn from you
I have no needs except for food, water, shelter, sleep
And to tell you that I love you
