the year

was it not enough, to

muddy boots outside door

wind rifling through hair

yours is so long now

gust teasing out

new greys

like our hands did once

was it not enough, to

breathing honeysuckles

with eyes closed

inhale silent memory

was it not enough, to

showing one another

the year's growth ring

we are still here

a remark between crow's feet

deepened

since last conversation

between our eyes


when they cut us down

they will see the hardened lines

but will never see this softness

was it not enough, to

go another year?
