Every night the same dance,
removing things from pockets--
Burt's Bees and Kleenex--
belt clinking, pants off,
setting aside the same undershirt
for tomorrow
while you put it all away in
the basket, rumpled.
Then underpants.
We meet in the hallway, honest.
And forget it all in the shower's steam
as we rinse today from our skin
in favor of sleep
And tomorrow.

Love it. Makes me nostalgic for something I haven't experienced yet. Nice use of imagery here.
There needs to be a 'like' button on Blogger :)
Aww. Thanks. Y'both (is that the proper form of y'all to use here) made me smile.

Very nice! BTW - when/where can we read your NaNoWriMo?
That's what I want to know!
