It’s our sixteenth anniversary
and the most romantic moment
is when he phones me at my office
and I already have to pee
but he is making me laugh so much
that I really do almost pee
and I wonder
how many anniversaries
in this strange year
are not being celebrated
in restaurants
or on trips
or with things
you can buy at a store,
but in these small
moments of comfort,
the cracks of light
that persist
through the wedges
of love
in the walls.
