Everyday of Every Day


how do I touch
this
with words,
explain
this
in some common language,
this
that is hardly common.

people fall in love every day
love as common as everyday

why must I attempt a unique definition of
this?
when it’s everyday that I love you
and every day that I fall

this
requires work
everyday work
every day listening
so that communication
becomes everyday

sitting down to breakfast
has become sitting down to a conversation
we giggle
and listen
hold hands under the table
and kiss with full mouths
