she watches him work
sweat running breathless effort
breathing him his hope

wow 25 years
stitched together two as one
healing wounds of time

fine line wafer thin
love is harsh & words confuse
emotions defuse

between love and truth
where possibilities lye
behind stinging sights

fresh river water
sucked through my hair so sweetly
tasting my essence

my cat whimsycurl
walks with her nose in the air
past the birds bathing
