Succor

Come dear friend

Sleep with me

Find solace in our breath

Temporary though it may be

Protected in each other

Safety as we hold hands

Like otters we never float apart

Be pleased we can trust

In touch we find newness

In breath and reaction

And we can be in solitude

Protected side by side

Humanity and truth

Warmth in age

Man and Man

Woman and Woman

Woman and Man

Spouses espoused

Friends adopted to family

We are as such

In peace in anger

In solitude in magnitude

Pause all

For our real matters

Unpause
