He looks at me like he's asking, "why am i so lucky as o have you? Why am i so lucky to be your winter cave? Why am i so lucky to feel your warm skin against my walls? Why am i so lucky?"
I only know to smile at such questions. How am i to answer?
Should i tell him it's because i am also lucky to be with him? Do i respond with, "Because something must warm you skin in winter."? Do i respond with, "Because you are a cave that echos love even when i scream hate."? Mabye i should mearly kiss his lips and whisper,"Because you are lucky.".
The wind answers my questions with, "Run away and see what he thinks of luck in comparison with love.".
My child responds with, "I'll be with you forever."
The remainder of my memory wonders how much of a promise has been made? How many times will love and promise echo in the cave before fading out?
My child growls, "None."
