Rooted

~ qbit 
You sniff and snuff for me
next to your pillow
like a sleepy truffle pig
rooting for your prize
even in dreams
 
Maybe love
grows best in darkness –
loamy, unseen –
a carrot say, or turnip
tapping our longing
 
In the morning, all
we can eat is before us
among vases of daylilies, begonias,
the table set
for two

  2. This is warm and real, in the way every day love is, a comfort as well as a passion, and a sustaining force in an insane world. I love the ‘all we can eat’ at the end–plenty and contentment. (I am using my FB id so I don’t go to spam, but it’s hedgewitch.)
