counting











counting on her
counting on me
facing each other
sisters are we


her steps are felt
so close to mine
even in distance
of space or time


grounded together
equal and free
facing each other
sisters are we


one step closer
you in my arms
head on my shoulder
blocking all harm


counting on you
counting on me
this place in time
so simply lovely
