Is it the end of love,

when a look

is a chain of events stopping at two?

When the outline

of your face

scurries away

under the stove.

When your name is just a word tasting like bread.

Baby,

Is it the end of us

when a kiss is

a grocery list?

Is it a home

if the kitchen

is clean?

Because here I am

using my elbow grease,

making us whole again.

Do we have time for breakfast?
