Life, and other questions of friendship

The

shackle of friendship

that keeps me

from the

fleeting pleasures

of anonymity —

living

in another city,

free of constraints,

an open schedule

with no strings attached —

becomes

a velvety,

warm corduroy

embrace

like those

pants when fall hits,

comforting

every movement.

When

the constant ties

that connect my heart

to yours

become

the freedom,

the strength

that I had looked for

all along.
