Together we sleep in one another’s arms.
As if that safety protects us from the world.
Between our breathing and our heart beats
all the brutality of the day
each night melts away.
And should the world find us so vulnerable?
Our accord is this;
always our side arm within reach.
Our promise,
to deliver each other into the protection of death
freed forever then from harm.
This is how we live
Now
This is how we love.
