                                            Darkness arrives early
like a distant relative
with nowhere else to go.
We sit in the living room
waiting for the bread to rise.
I read on the sofa in the lampβs light
while you sing βStand by Your Manβ
with Loretta Lynn, sewing a hem
into the second-hand dress
you will, years from now,
wear to your wedding.
