There is an understanding

Of red blossoms, the bite

And press of a thumbnail in the thick petal

The glassy skin of her wide knuckles,

Worn by the water.

 

There is a belief this Fire Lord holds

In loss, in thin bowls that show your hands

Right though the clay.

 

There is the moon

Holding the night strung out on its light.

 

It is a comfort they can both believe in.
