She Me, Me She- We

My first love, a fellow swimmer

My mermaid sister in the sac

We floated together sharing

And exploring our wombed space

And nine months later we adventured

One shortly after the other

But, virtually, together

On a journey that's lasted

More than four decades- so

Far!

We've hugged and laughed

We've thrown stones

Called names

Teased and hurt each other

Others

Like magnetic poles, we

Are pulled to each other

Not opposites, but bound

By a womb-mate bond

A force, that can only be

Described as true love

Life's breathe

Before breathing air

Life's nourishment

Before latching

Love you womb-mate!!
