Verily

I thought about my life, the last 69 years, with its twists and turns, and infinite detail. It seems like it started ages ago, with early childhood just a collection of black and white and Kodachrome images, the rest like old blurry Polaroids, and all of it receding in the mists.
And then I thought:
Verily, I have not come very far.

Together 3/4/2113

Together, in the twilight.
I see your face
lit in a ragged remainder of the sunset,
and feel it shine upon me,
as mine shines upon you, and
together
in the end,
if there is an end,
all that will matter
is that we were together
always
and in love
