The Walk

I remember today

Every day

Our slow walk to oblivion

That brief weightless trek

From our bed

To my car

My fingers making their way into yours

As we bravely braced ourselves

For the crossroads about to meet

Newly forged paths

When you and I became one

And for each other

Forever

Time was against us

But time has no power

Over our soldered bond

Made stronger

With each step towards the edge

And into my imagined

Abyss of absence

For as we breathe

As we inhabit each other’s lives

From a distance

Without words

Only thoughts

We are walking together

With each the other one’s shadow

Waiting

To become each other
