My poetry, his chords
healing us—
15 years are a long time to wait
for intimate conversation
about our feelings, our losses, our lives
Sharing our needs
with each other
after so many years of hiding them
to attend to spouses’ needs.
Now, with support
I feel alive again---
Ready to see the world
through someone else’s lens.
Ready to laugh with someone
about life’s ironies.
Ready to face aging
holding hands:
Vines intertwined for strength.
What seemed impossible—-
insurmountable alone,
Now is manageable together.
