communion
for B

you walked the path
toward me
long lean
closer beautiful
friendly smile lines

who is this man
an old friend
my heart said
but for sure
we’d never met

I say you swept
me into a hug
you say I leapt
into your arms
either way

thirty-three years
a long time
those crinkles
lured me into deep
communion
