In the heart of our home. Nestled safe, and [ … ] yes, deep below the ground.
Oh, Love, our castle stretched upward to the sky and down into the earth’s depths. There was no place I didn’t love you; no domain we didn’t reach, and live in harmony.
You and I, and all our family.
[ … ]
I didn’t— I don’t believe I said. When you first spoke of our den. I don’t think I told you, but I approached it. Once, and once only.
I don’t know what happened. I recall only that the doors glissed open. I recall an overwhelm that followed me for days, for years.
I don’t believe I could have entered. I am glad to hear you fled. [ … ] I don’t think either of us could have withstood its force. How clear-writ the truth must have been; that I was yours, and you were mine.
[ … ]
We will return, my mate. We’ll return, and bless every inch with joy and with our scents renewed.
We will have our home again; there, just as well as here.
