A Winter Weekend
Two days inside together
as the snow accumulates,
the temperature drops,
and our desire to step into the outside world diminishes,
taking care of one another,
playing house,
wrapped in the warmth of each other’s arms,
the space between our kisses
become our measurement of time
If all the Saturdays and Sundays
in December through February
were spent like this
I would no longer mind
the winter storms
