Learning Japanese.
Crowded around the speaker,
Comprehension, hai.

To the art museum!
Gathering kids at the door,
excitement abound.

Nearly a decade.
Education became work.
Apprenticeship now.

A surprise waiting.
Phone calls are made to delight.
A dozen flowers.

Two years to the day.
A first kiss in a new bed.
Slightly missing lips.

A week spent apart,
All I want is more of you.
Intoxicating.
