I never knew that I could
love two women at once
brown eyes, both…and both Kathys
each so different in all the tangibles

and yet, both so essentially real
in those spaces behind our looks
and our touches

Does either of them take from the other?
I don’t compare…I just feel
I don’t judge…I just care

I’m not sure how it will work
but I’ll continue to love both of them

Love and life…they get so rich sometimes
I just want my skin to burst warm
and radiate thanks in all directions
thank you, life.
