she was long and tall and leaned back against him as he held her in his arms as he leaned against the kitchen counter after they had prepared dinner together yapping  then placing it in the oven

he did the prepwork washed and sliced or diced or grated vegetables as she asked 

her bit was the witchy partthe melding and folding the subtle herbs or punch-ya-in-the-mouth spices  eye of newt  knee of worm  feather of phoenix

he didnt have or ever acquired her finesse 

                                             though the butchering hewing and knifework was right up his alley coarse but serving a necessary basic purpose

he then her 

              as fire is to smoke and scent

holding her against himthe warmth and weight of her body he nuzzled smelled her hair smelled the nape of her neck 

he inhaled deeply

                   My gawd

What?

Love you smell like a freshbathed newborn An aint a damn thing that smells better in the world

Stop.

No yado  Ya smell wonderful anya feel so good in my arms

I smell like a baby?

Yado

I think that’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.

Shame on them  People dont know what they have until its gone an then they cant say  so their thoughts are utterly meaningless

Yamean so much to me

Thank you for being alive at the same time I am

You’re gonna make me cry.

Then cry
