you were always the one idealistic
walking miles of poetry
with jonathan livingston seagull in your breast
or joni mitchell on your lips
sunny day
you owned your own name
the den that could never quite house you
released its grip
we sailed our twenties-together
you birthed my fascination of herbs and midwifery
led my maiden voyage to the ship of fools
always the one i followed around
you tasted the road
a mosaic life, swinging your hips
through the gem stone heart break
past the English Manor
and frolicking the playwright
to finally ripen your fig in Big Sur
you blossomed babies and college degrees
your sun still shining
on me
still caught
in your colorful orbit
furniture shared
and letters traded
hardly a thing I own
without your mark
i’ve nurtured you
as you threw up bile
and you shed tears
when I bled my heart
your ways become mine
and my heart yours
the line that runs between us unbroken
the knocking doors and answered phones
have always been eager between us
some unbroken lineage
we have to fulfill
we both laugh at the prospect
and toss back another cup of fate
you tell me your stories
and I tell you mine
we blend together in this weave
and it’s too late
to pull us apart
