tension so thick in me it could be cut with the proverbial knife
i hear the door open
then, "hey, babe, come look at this"
and i could feel my tension ease
a rainbow - a promise -
right over our house
(the second one in just a few weeks)
and ben saying, "hey, babe"
he and i watching
the storm
the sunset

the rainbow lasted for twenty minutes
that should be long enough for me to grasp the enormity of the promise
the tenderness in my husband's voice
that should be enough for me to grasp the enormity of his promise
love so thick i could cut it with the proverbial knife
maybe i should take that memory down today
and cut myself a slice
and savour every bite
the rainbow-maker didn't mean that promise for only one evening
