Untitled Love Poem By Gretchen Fischer I glance at him across the room; his beard is grayer then I remember from yesterday As gray as my hair was when I glanced in the mirror two years ago and knew. We are middle-aged…we have weathered the storm of three daughters and parents dying We glance at each other across the room…we negotiate with our middleaged glances; Who will walk the dog, buy the toilet paper, take the garbage out… who will be the first to throw their arm across the warm body that crawls into bed. One of us.
