Happy Remarks

What was on the wall that day.

A turtle crossing the dirt road. We waited.

My friend reads me her bad poems. I love that she lets me.

My mother-in-law sent me a card just because. There was no occasion.

My friend kept a key to my house for emergencies. The emergencies are usually just being lonely.

Snow falling under a streetlight at three in the morning.

My neighbor brought our trash bins up to the porch when he saw they'd been there for two days.

My partner remembers my grandmother's recipe and makes it when I miss her.

I am grateful for the song that played in the cab on the night that mattered. I won't say what it was. But I remember.

My wife held the dog when we had to put her down. She held me afterwards.

We danced in the kitchen tonight while waiting for the pasta to boil.

My wife knows the exact word I'm searching for.

Grateful for the surgeon who hummed while she worked.
