Sharing Stories

Happy Valentines Day from Bluffer and Digger, married 28 years.
| February 14, 2014

These were our nicknames early in marriage.

I, seeing his discomfort below

the surface and

he, seeing I’d leave no stone unturned.

Sixteen years in, and

HE

begins to delve!

I

discover I have topsoil,

begin to groom and cultivate it.

The primordial laughter bubbles up

through the earth,

churning in my ear canal.

Bluffer and Digger:

Simply man and woman?

But now

we no longer are

simply

man and woman.
