You showed up one day
Howling at the door
Demanding to be part of our family
We sit above the world
Looking down on the city
You spread your arms
Over me
As I wrap my arms
Around you
I lost myself for a while there in the middle of our story

You took me onto the deck
To look between the trees
And across the water
Remember
When we lived
In the tiny cottage
With single-pane windows
I didn’t mean to follow
In your footsteps
I meant to forge
My own glittering path
Snowflakes fall
Filling arches in our entryway
From Thanksgiving
Through the end of winter
Let’s go to the sea
And watch the sunrise
Through the mist
When I give you red
Do you taste
Paprika, chili or wine?
