Amongst the hours of (re)collection…

Sanitation and removal,

I cherish moments with you my love,

And in consideration 

Of our commonalities, 

I find comfort,

In who we are.

Similar.

Both trash…

Discarded portions, 

Like undesired pieces

On pages in a bin,

Soon to be deleted,

Immediately waiting to be erased,

From Random(ly) Accessed…

Memories.

But it is in this

Congestion & Coagulation,

The sticky sludge of what’s left behind,

We can see something beyond,

What others saw of and for us. 

It is here that I find,

Our love story is bound…

Like we are to each other.
