This, Too, Is Love

She skims through my resume, her eyes aiming
For any error there-in to find. Her index finger
Going line by line every title, subheading
And bulletpoint. This, too, is love.

I drive through the many littered streets
Of Kathmandu, cursing bikes, cars and buses,
Swerving by potholes and idiot drivers
Just to pick her up. This, too.

We've made a schedule and sorted days
For cooking and cleaning. Laundry too.
As well as groceries and walking the dog.
This, too. This, too. This, too.

shells
Love entwined with the everyday acts of kindness and thoughtfulness.

So right Sameen; love is just as much in the small things.

love is an invention, it's like time
it is used as a pretext for I want company, I want sex...?
