Riley and Annie
I like the way you like each other,
share with each other first,
make each other laugh.
How each of you smiles
when the other one enters the room.
I like that you tell your stories
like they are one shared story,
one point of view.
And how you team up
against the rest of us, even me.
We couldn't understand.
We'll never really understand.
It looks like a gift you have given
each other, have earned from one another.
I see it on your faces,
in how you pivot to the other.
Delight. Trust.
I hear it even in a quiet room.
The rest of us can fail.
You can be a thousand miles
and weeks apart.
But you have each other.
No question.
