A strange exchange

Strains on a marriage

Work that couldn't get done

Introducing friends

Birthdays, laced with jealousy

Using words on purpose to hurt someone


"How did it end up this way?" her husband thought


codes

symbols

borrowed


All of that interesting work

breaking away the story

cracking parts

feeling ones body you've never

dreamt about

the stubble left all over his body

they held each other so fucking closely

that for once, she wasn't thinking


then,

they stared at each other (and she was so thankful)

to shave off the hair

and see his face, for the very first time
