We were together not
together see-saw dizzy
for years
almost no sometimes
maybe but always
such good
travelers
I said yes to that last-ditch
trip both journey
& stumble yes
to azure Aegean ouzo
& small
white monasteries. We were
trying again both attempting
& exasperating
promising
once more almost
believing all up & down
the Peloponnesus
we carried dumb faith & good
luggage
found the best figs
bandaged our wounds
& chose
finally
one part of cleave not cling
but split.
