Giving thanks while cuddling

napping together.
listening to you talking baseball.
listening to the tress outside the window.
hair clips.

Giving thanks with a smoothie

See's candies.
Apples.
Tomatoes.
Making dinner for someone I love.
A well-timed phone call.
Remembering to bring a warm shirt.

Thanksgiving near a murder of crows

Hearts.
Flashcards.
French fries.
Curling irons.
Email.
When you arrive.

Giving thanks, bracing for heat

Brussels sprouts.
Purple.
Dictionaries.
Summer.
Orgasms.

Giving thanks beside roses

Surprise love notes.
Red.
Roses.
Planning.
Tofu.

Thanksgiving in Lotus

Memory.
Dreams.
Fruit salad.
A change of clothes.
Someone to talk to about what's bothering me.

Thanksgiving listening to crows

African violets.
Ferns.
Chia seeds.
That you picked out some flowers for me.
A warm apartment.

Thanksgiving on a chilly September morning

Chilly mornings.
Electric kettles.
Time to make dinner.
The sound of the waves.
Anticipating your arrival home.
