Lonely Days are Meant for Two

Location

I know the lonely days by heart.

 

Even as a child

floating my ship to school

across enemy seas,

with its peppermint sails unfurled,

I fought dragons

and demon gnats

alone ...

 

Share the lonely days with me

and I'll show you castles

only I know about...

 

 

lavender books

and clouds of steam

from the tea pot...

 

Lonely days were meant for two.
