Sincerely, Marie

Dear anonymous,

I fed pigs today.

You’re the first person I wanted to share my excitement with

The smell of the fresh grass reminds me of us feeding ducks-

when we made six months and again for my birthday

You took me to your sanctuary; I remember when I was that for you, too

I’m envious of the families around me.

The two parent households my kids will never have,

The two parent households neither of us did-

The two parent households we could’ve been

& though I lug my heart around this farm,

I think I’ll still enjoy this moment

With love, always,

Me
