Alone At Last
by ©Richard Budig

Alone together, at last.
Years of being stuck at home.
Kids. Bills. Drudge jobs.
And then, somehow,
we wangled time off together
and went to the mountains,
to a little cabin on a stream.
It was good, just you and me.
I couldn't contain myself,
couldn't keep my hands off.
Eventually, we made love,
and when we finished, you said,
"There . . . is that how you like it?"
in a voice like sand against glass
to which the only answer seemed,
"Gee, I guess not."

Yesterday is history, tomorrow just a mystery. And if today is good to me how could I ask for more?
