"He and She"
by Kim Krynock
is dancing on the lawn
swinging his brown bottle
(always half full)
to the moon
and she
is standing with the cats
by the overflowing sink
her belly wet
with work and soap
and he
hums a working song
(knows the tune
but not the words)
being sixty two
on his last birthday
and not through
with life just yet
and she
thinks him a fool
and she
broods about the neighbors
and she
loves him like a fool.
