Glove Box
Re: Glove Box
It is not so important but the second stanza is this:
all the orange peels tossed
from her window, your own nostrils
sweetened from the smell of her—
surely if you say
from her window, your nostrils
sweetened ...
the sense remains the same thus the word own is largely redundant. However, like a punchline in a joke that needs repeating the point becomes mute

Re: Glove Box
There is also a sweet meaning were you to swap the words, "You" with "We" or "Us."
Can you tell I'm missing my husband?

Re: Glove Box
Peace to you, Deb. I had no idea.
If I were to swap you w/plural pronoun, it would change my intent. Please feel free to take this poem, change it, and use the words how you wish. I don't mind.
Re: Glove Box
Thank you, Tim. That is kind of you. I like the way you have this written. It's a beautiful love poem.
To be clear, my husband has been at sea for a few weeks. He's coming home tomorrow.
