Old Love (edit #1)

[ellajam]

Sorry for going overboard, but you change one thing and others have to be changed.

Counting faded scars from having lost big;
then repacked the luggage for better balance.
Joy comes in gleaming nuggets:
a welcome home grin,
a hand on shoulder,
a pat on the butt,
and kisses hot enough to heat the long winter.
All of this coming with the knowledge
that it was brought by grace and luck.

Hey, where's my giggle and dance? Can't live without them.

Seriously though, what's left could be a middle age starting over, I'm aiming at older. I'll shuffle it around a bit and see what happens. I'll read yours a while first, thanks.
