the danger of love is its orthodoxy
to twist reason one reason no one expected their loved one would
overthrown them
Didnt
see that coming diya
No but love is blind
then perhaps humoured they hand you a white cane and step back covering their mouth trying to stifle their
laughter which leaks between their fingers perhaps on
purpose and infuriated
you whip the empty air around you with the cane
tears stinging your eyes
perhaps you whip it because you heard something odd creeping up on you something crept up on you
and it felt threatening
then you realise your loveyour relationship is a threat
fiftynine weeks passed fiftynine
Sundays
he quit working Sundays after two
years to free up some time for them to share
and three timesthree times since they interrupted a Sunday to be together
but that hadnt happened since
mid-September
he clutchedheld their love fiercely
perhaps the ideaher idea was she was in love
and being in love was enough
he opened his hands widestretched his fingers out until his palmsinsides blanched
then he closed them into fists
he wasnt holding a cane yet
not
just yet
