Twins We Pray
Left, to my right,
another half
As two we’re whole,
on different paths
My cloudless sky,
your world in shade
Whose peace endears,
my war invades
Our grass once greener,
turns to brown
A soul we share,
now turned around
Symbiotic,
twins we pray
Conjoined in conflict,
—hearts forayed
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)
