our thinking, the relative
importance of books, rain,
dirty laundry, stairs, lunch
menu and the right color shoe
vintage wallpaper (unironic),
locating doors, old ghosts,
room assignments, rules
and whispers of inadequacy
moments to bless, yesing
one another where we have
the heart lives, and pain
without precedent will not
preside here (motioned,
seconded but certainly not
approved). instead we walk
miles together, wrap arms,
practice presence, re-promise
love, the relative importance
of heart sisters, good shoes,
and shaking off the dust
[for a and k, post-reunion]
