Thank you, it’s part of a wider collection I’m working on called The Familiarity.
The poems move through the shared rituals of marriage and the raw vulnerability of fatherhood, from the soft bewilderment of raising children to the silent reckonings of midlife. At its heart lies a question: is there anything greater than falling in love with the same person twice — and what must be lost, or forgiven, to find our way back?
It’s not published, yet. I aim to publish through www.inkandribbon.com my nonprofit literary press. You can find a lot of the poems on my substack, just check the previously posted ones like:
I love the structure of this text - beautifully aligned in verse and meter. ☺️

I look forward to seeing it published!
This poem has breath. Well done.
I loved this. The clocks have gone back in the UK this morning. But reading this has moved me, forward.
As we say in Australia, “noice”.
