Others slept.
We sat with a bottle
At the kitchen table
The way men do
Who deserve to
Talk.
Outside, the embers of
The dying bonfire
Flung sparks
Into the dark, and as
Men that need to cry
So very often
Don't, the night, the woods
And the cabin kitchen
Formed a tear
Just our size. In which
We sat. And sometimes
Spoke a
Little.
