The argument
A week after the argument
he told me
h'ed been in the field
for a week
a scientist's terms
the etymology
of his name
meaning "field"
of course
and it being
a nickname
for my name
Royal Fortress Meadow
So this is how I know
and now I am left wit words
a blank canvas
and peace
which is
everything
to me
touche
I enrage him
A family of one
at one
my royal fortress
the music
soothes in drifts
and carries
the sound
outside
where the flowers
turn to the sun
