hummus

she asked
for hummus
again

and even though
i have it
day to day

i got it
for her

just to see
her eyes
light up in glee

as she rejoiced
over something
i introduced
to her

long ago

when love
was young

and reactions
were still
unguarded

smiles
you can't hide
are better than
tears
you must cover

in the light of day

(soon)
