Two Lucky Ones
we have been
together since the womb
one zygote split into two embryos
so tightly bound together unformed limbs
kicking against the uterine walls of our mother
and each other. as we grow we continue sharing: beds,
food, clothes; same voice, same laugh, same crooked teeth
simply conveyed by meeting eyes or unusual posture. I read you
like an open book, and I know you do the same for me.
some people spend their entire lives looking for
soulmates in lovers or loyal friends;
but i am one of the lucky ones
I was born with mine
my twin.
