It wasn’t easy
(It never is)
To repair the ends
Between the showers
Of our endless arguments
But regular use of the light roller
With judicious use
Of the elephant’s foot
And a straight edge
Gave us a true surface
To play on

Oh I love the image of arguments smoothed over with a light roller. It’s a wonderful metaphor – and so very true.
Day 8! This NaPo is eating me like Cthulhu…
