happy together

as her beauty faded
and she let her hair
turn grey,
he fell into
disinterest about
his eyebrows and ears,
the size of his waist,
wearing pajama pants all day,
she learned how to bake.
they no longer made
love
the way they did
when they were younger,
if at all
but they were full
and happy together,
kissing now with closed lips,
tapping their bellies
while staring into
a roaring fire.
