How We Are

I knew myself
when I saw you
a reflection
in a tide
that pulsed

when I saw
the smoke
I knew
of the fire

identity of
the very same
similar
in comparison

and you
had me tricked
for a little while
thinking you
were better

then I realized
facts of
common hearts
they walk
even when lame

Helen,

Amazing how that works and how you write.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

For a long, skinny poem, this one is mighty deep and wide....

There's a lot here, and all of it good to read.
