Suddenly

He brought this home
to me
today. In a bouquet of
all white with a splash of green.

First bouquet since
butchering my wedding ring finger
last June on the vase of the
anniversary bouquet he gave.

He watched as my finger was
sutured to cover the exposed bone.
He listened as I screamed, as I
cried, and I moaned. Eleven stitches
and he promised to never
bring me flowers again.

Today he broke his promise with
a white rose, no make that two white roses.

Hooray!


Good night from Southern California, which was today a place of gentle rain.
