two
not one
hip-joined
enmeshed
Inseparable
“unhealthy”
a therapist
cautioned
in one voice
they replied
“thanks but
we like it this way”
now after 40 years
sabine leaves her
life’s work behind
it’s david
it’s him whom
she focused
crafted
loved fiercely
he
stumbling out of
a failed marriage
unhappy co-workers
undaunted
she
going about her
task
quietly
behind-the-scenes
intense and unconditional
she loved
and molded
this
adventurous two-step
a man emerging
who would love
her
above career
children
even self
thus
after decades
together
he was ready
ready
to step up
when
mr cancer
came suddenly
to visit
and
stayed
they danced
it was so sweet
until she had to
rest
years
of loving work
together
now she was
dying
holding her in
his arms
he kissed her again
and again
a life’s work
completed
promises kept
and so
above their bed
in that old farm
they called
new journey
he heard
the song of
angels.
