we watch the game, reheat the chili from last night. I wait for a prescription, you head out on a run. I lean in to ask for a kiss before the front door closes behind you, and with a sly grin, you blow warm breath between my curls. three weeks sharing the same roof. each day, a dance with something different. a never set routine. I could splay the week out on the kitchen counter like a never-ending paper chain; each fold connected by our mornings, the only thing that remains the same. how dog gets restless in the corner, the neighbor starts up his rusted car. I wake and turn over, to find you ready with open arms.
