the secret abridged: 
and the truth 
shortened beyond sight

---

from across the sound: 
whispers of 
all of those chances

---

in the wide gardens 
talk and hands 
touching the wide sun

---

but it was real love: 
not simple, 
but given fully

---

curtains of 
northern lights stringing 
along hope --

---

driving home 
my sister asleep 
birds chirping

---

our love was a cliff: 
one dove off, 
the other drove off

---

floating mirror skies 
and flowers 
alive with color 

---

all is right 
when nothing is wrong 
except love

---
