ratty bathrobe

ratty bathrobe so far after one year
of being in each other’s life
I have his toothbrush
and now his ratty bathrobe
it’s just very sweet

little things like that
symbolize the comfort
tentative
like bambi’s mother
taking him to the meadow
for the first time
we won’t bother
to mention how
that ends

next
I’ll make drawer space.
