Together and Lost
together in time
time on a string—
friendship in notes
of what lovers bring
*
storms and fires
eons of woods
grown over and lost
to sight in the blind
communion of one
*
rust and battle—
armor left, foregone
on fields for others
to follow this road
*
alone
in the constant quest
of folly foregone
in others’ arms
*
one day crowned
anew without a plan—
maps torn and paper burned,
