Description
A photo of you was like a map
with streets and parks
and sites of schools,

and when, one day, we consummated
our growing bond, I almost swooned
as you saw right through me,

feeling vindicated when you
fell in love before we'd met.
I too had always felt the same.

And so, between us, we wrote our book
for all time, to turn page after page
of beloved words, like all the spells

used to conjure renewal of our oath
every year, each day,
with every breath we take.
