FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

BETWEEN YOU AND I

the conversation goes on
till morning
the you inside you
and the you beside
you

it is you beside a bed
tending
to a sick soul and you
both talk in whispers

pronouns are confused
which one is better
one needs to stay awake
to find the correct one

it is all about the sickness
and the cure
the comfort and the
need for more understanding

before breakfast is served
on that table for one
a pact is forged
"let us do the best we can"
one whispers again

"let us just be whole and
one" the other nods.
