brother

i love him brother, boy i loved him. he was mine and like a twin, and we held hands in sunlight. birds knew us alone and skates flung away the sight of us. we were terror and fright and eventide and joy! boys! we were boys! what a man would forget? what a man for the love of a sorrow? what a man for the foundation of blood? my twin! my darling, my kin lies with her now, and i sleep like rain grows lively for the coming storms. jP N.14o12
