The Blue RobeHow joyful to be together, alone
as when we first were joined
in our little house by the river
long ago, except that now we know

and now instead of two stories fumbling
to meet, we belong to one story
that the two, joining, made. And now
we touch each other with the tenderness
of mortals, who know themselves:
