Apothegm

After April rain

Take it from one

Who does not

Whatever else

You have lost

If you have each other

You have it all.

The Same

\

We've known for a long time

in something close to silence

in something close to wisdom

Aloft

something we've learned not to say

guardians of solitude

protectors of each other

in the charm of magnetic fields

respectful in our ways.

The mind holds many truths

we've learned not to name

in something close to wisdom

in something close to silence

in something close to tragedy

we feel the same.
