Wheels rolling so long
hours and miles and states
and the sun rolling across the slate sky
paw-licking
love afar
two loves for you building
but driving away for a day
cold sheets in Faribault.
I missed you.
Driving home for a day
love growing closer
home
wheels stop rolling
four arms and two mouths
to hold and kiss
two hearts
yours
warm inside
two loves
all yours
three loves
all ours.
I want us to feel like warmth
hot like defrost clearing an iced windshield
evaporating time and distance and driving
cold and paw-licking.
I am your husband, your Chris.
She is your lover, your Lydia.
We are your chosen family.
Welcome home.
