Together
Again
O my
sweet, sweet Cathy Lynn,
we
met in medias res, you in the throes
of
life, your loving brother recently
passed
over with cancer, your marriage
dead
in the water, pacing your store
like
a caged tiger; and me, at the end
of
my journey of self-discovery
waiting
impatiently for my new life
to
begin, stepping into your corner store
to
seek your bookkeeping advice; but
when
I looked into your eyes, centuries
of
longing possessed me, and our journey
to
the promised land began, forgiving
me
for betraying you for my lover.
O,
what a life we’ve lived, from the day
we
met to this, undoing what I did
to
you in our life then, and you loving
me now
together again.
