It has passed again
you bought me a card
with syrupy inscription
that looked a little odd
above your name
niceties done with
a kiss exchanged
we quarrelled our way
through just another day
no fancy meal
no scented bath
no moonlight walk
that evening
we retired to bed
just as we always have
and slept
with the dogs
between us
