108 days,
as the moon waxed and waned,
we sat
together.
Before dawn.. at dawn.. in the mid afternoon and with the setting sun.
We sat
together.
The birds. The skies. The changing light.
Nudged by chaos, fur and birds at home in that chimney.
Black soot. Darkness.
Time dissolving.
Resolving.
There is always a dawning.
Long may we continue,
together
