Can You Hear This?I cannot tell youabout our love grown from friendship handmade and original like the duvet covers we sewed years ago together to last and blanket us from our mother's suspicions aid in our own hiding. I cannot tell you missing buttons, thin borders her gray hair and my wrinkles at 25 are what's left from a year of fear and holding hands in the car, in the dark a year of living under a heavy sky of parental conditions and covering children's ears with safe language and two duvet covers on separate beds.
