Sine Qua Non

—Portrait of M & A
.

.
the light of the stoop at our back
rich and lush and fine
floods this moment from behind
as the luminescence of our past here
floods this moment of our mind
being, in part, a thing that lasts
and part the motion of a wave
constant as a sine (sine
qua non of ours and
yours & mine)
