Reunion

by J. V. Birch

We met again this morning

three months since we last did.

Not that long when you look past closed doors

but still.

And there were reasons and distance and family

but still.

And we remembered us well

every shiver

every scar

every secret sin

and we loved loud

as if calling the next time.
