her too.<\/p>\n
But there was so much to say.<\/p>\n
New digs.<\/p>\n
Moving out,<\/p>\n
moving in.<\/p>\n
He had ice cream stories to share,<\/p>\n
her site visits.<\/p>\n
And I lay on the bed,<\/p>\n
in the green of the night<\/p>\n
trees swaying to the whack<\/p>\n
of the late June rain.<\/p>\n
He talks of his ice cream glove,<\/p>\n
all the better to grip his Ben & Jerry’s.<\/p>\n
She talks of donuts from<\/p>\n
her local coffee shop,<\/p>\n
meanwhile I’m working to deadline,<\/p>\n
writing lines,<\/p>\n
grabbing images,<\/p>\n
writer talk.<\/p>\n
Knowing tomorrow<\/p>\n
we’ll catch up<\/p>\n
Boston to Mayo.<\/p>\n
Mother daughter<\/p>\n
yaps<\/p>\n
giggles<\/p>\n
and yes, writing talk<\/p>\n
with my fellow writer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
