just beyond the doorway
he lies on the couch, she puts the last dish in the cupboard
just beyond the fence
he returns the rake, she pulls a weed
just inside the garage
he hands her a wrench, she turns the bolt
just through the window
he whistles a tune, she plucks the strings
just behind the porch railing
he inhales sweet smoke, she sips smooth wine
just up the stairs
he pulls back the sheet, she settles the pillows
just beyond the doorway
moon climbs high, stars align
