For Semimaru by Grace Andreacchi

For Semimaru

by Grace Andreacchi

Twin blossoms bowed
by the weight of white beauty
upon a single stem
twilight
whispered secrets
songs that any small
harsh wind might shake
break upon the concrete ground
brother and sister
unblemished chalices
to the glass brim
our still thoughts dreaming
two blossoms seeming
but one heart
