Thanks :) me too! I'm often astonished at my capacity for love of husband.

I'm so glad you two found each other, and that even the ordinary moments will be worth celebrating, no matter what happens, because it's the two of you together. :)

[whipchick]

Thanks! Me too :)

A poem! I enjoyed the juxtaposition between the end of the world and a very domestic-feeling relationship. That works well and then you have the surprise stanza regarding the litter at the beach...signalling a true end...and that works AMAZINGLY well.

Thanks so much! It was such an interesting prompt, and made me go all philosophical :)

Nice. I didn't read it as a poem, which might say something about the way I read you, the way you usually write, and how this fits into that intersection.

Not sure why this is tagged "non-fiction" tho.

[whipchick]

Yeah, most of my poems are more spoken-word-y anyway :) I tagged it nonfiction because while it's speculative, I'm pretty sure this is what I'd actually do!
