The 78th Day of Marriage (14 January 2008)

This morning, I discovered
the back of your right ear,
mushrooming into sturdy wrinkles.
Hidden in its crevices
are four freckles.
I counted them in astonishment
as you slept.
O dreaming conquest,
my beautiful plunder,
I had thought I knew everything
about you.
