Just Married

Leaf 100 – Reflections

 



This poem speaks to a happy realisation which dawned on me one morning under a bright blue sky while hanging out the washing on our balcony in the sunshine. Only a couple years more, and I’ll need three hands.

 

 

Hanging the laundry:

our “Just Married”

tea towel –

     counting the years,

     on the fingers of two hands.
