Iron sharpens iron.*
Brother, sister,
you can discount the effect of distances,
of misunderstanding’s grind against the mind.
Your walk, your talk,
the slightest glint in your countenance,
even the hurried expressions on paper, page—of internetted voices and faces
before you retire:
these add up, beautiful
In their simplicity,
like a witnessing church spire.
