There were the moments
That wove our hearts together
In taut plaits
Like tattoos etched on our light-skinned hearts
We were one word
Inseparable
Time strutted away
Like she had forgotten us
Straddled in its undulating fold
What could put us apart?
Shall death, when he came knocking?
No, for we were body and soul!
Aye, we were inseparable
Like one being
