Tell them

those traveling
with you now
far in-
side
the unforgivable 
how it was us
[who are with you
always]
pushed you
hard
deeper in-
to
the deep
where you found
our most bitter
dreams
our sweetest
dreams too
and how later
later
back and forth
back and forth
in the hollow of our
inextinguishable names
together we learned to fly
again
to fly away
again
together
in our name
