April Anthology 2016: In good company

Staying in my own corner of the world
With you,
Listening to reinterpreted history,
Grabbing scraps of language I may never learn,
Pretending we really are alone.
You make ideas sparkle.
Make the clock tick differently;
Draw my eye to light and shadow
And possibility,
Share the same pages,
And read the same stories.
For the moment, all that matters
Lives inside a fort a child could breach,
A circle of chairs,
A bubble of sunshine.
