A to Z poetry challenge 2021 - O

 

this evening

I am sitting on my deck

watching the graceful

(from a distance)

cockatoos glide home

they play a hide and seek dance

looking for their perch 

while my husband

makes yet another feast

for the family

in our small but efficient

modern apartment kitchen

I am wondering 

if the birds are saying

as they find their nightly roost

what I said

six weeks after I met him

and every day since

for 34 years

“This is the one”
