For Victor on Valentine's Day

He husbands me.
His warm shining smile, calling forth my fruit.
Heart swelling so much - it pushes up the corners of my mouth.
His body, my ground to grow from.
Engineering our days,
He wakes me with naked maleness
and blankets me at bedtime with his comforting.
When Colorado winters get too cold & dry
He transplants me to warmer, moister places.
His laughter and good humor sparkle across our days,
Tickling me without a touch,
Droplets of happiness, refreshing.
He works my barren areas,
Digging deeply to loosen me,
Making room for more life.
