Building

Alyson Monaghan

As we sat on the plywood
and shared a sandwich
in the room we decided would one day
be the baby#&8217;s,
someday
when the roof is finished,
the walls insulated,
the windows in,
I looked at your profile
and startled, wondering
who you were
and how I would know how
to spend my life with you.

But, later that night,
both of us on the couch,
our feet layered on one another#&8217;s,
I couldn#&8217;t tell your toes
from mine.
