Absolutely Loved Keillor's Poem for Today
It's by Mary Atwood.

Habitation

Marriage is not
a house or even a tent

it is before that, and colder:


the edge of the forest, the edge
of the desert
the unpainted stairs
at the back where we squat
outside, eating popcorn

the edge of the receding glacier

where painfully and with wonder
at having survived even
this far

we are learning to make fire

Love ol' GK. Always a treat when I'm in the car and get to catch the writer's almanac, or a little Lake Wobegone storytime. Good stuff.
