You create

a different me

with every smile, every

minute of closeness…

Laughter fills corners of the room

places where

light creeps slowly, where

time overlooks

brief sunlight coming

through

dismissive windows

Smiles threaten the

peace, the

calm of living alone

Routines of complexity driven

out; efficiency

and time settle differences

settle down to

exquisite chaos…

and the new

me.
