some evenings we bundle up and
take a walk
side by side on the frozen streets
of this little windswept winter town
stars prick out the blackness
on the darker corners
and we look and
see orion
and ursa major
and other unknown collections of distant suns
and I imagine they are there just for us
lighting our joined journey
through a windy and cold world
where we
lean on the other for
strength
------- truth
-------------- assurance
-------------------------love
like a pair of suns locked in each other’s orbit
seen from below as one bright star in the chilled heavens
we will walk together
until our boots crunch the driveway snow
and we are home
