communion

Walk with me.
Right now, let's talk of
Life and death and God and love,
of you and me and stupidity.
But walk with me.
You and I, side by side,
nothing rude and nothing snide,
all to bear and nothing to hide.
We will talk of all those scars and tears,
the matter of these desperate years.
We will talk and walk while the world leers,
but for now, just walk with me.
