By Ruth Guest
We are here now, Her and me
Near lifeless, almost broken
Only one will recover
Repuzzled from these shards
Recaptured from remnants
Only one whole will reawaken
The painful truth
For me and her
Is that rebirth only follows death
The phoenix only follows the corpse
The new only begins
Where the old has ended
So her and me
We landed here
Bottom of this deep crevasse
Only one of us will survive
Only one
Will make the climb
From me and she
Will spring forth a hybrid being
A chimera from our bones and souls
Bound with strong cement
A fierce glue
To bind us two
This new one
From me and her
Will grapple these walls
Ascend these cliffs
Climb out of this pit
And rise
