At sunrise
on Kilimanjaro
what is it the three peaks
— grandfather,
father,
and son —
in silent communication
agree to do?

By a tree of dawn
just the height of a giraffe
they reveal a giraffe couple
as they tear off and eat the leaves.
They reveal a kiss as the couple recalls
love, a kiss just as still
as still can be.
