Bickering

Is it bickering? We snap and carp, not often, but sometimes. It’s usually because one of us is tired or in pain or just irritable. He gets sleepy at breakfast and I made scratchy by fears of the work that is to come. I wish it were otherwise. It isn’t elegant. And it belies the love we feel for each other. Perhaps I just have to let it be.
