Together

painting by rick mobbs

Together

Milla had two friends,

but more than friends they really

were; Ginger, her red

pony, whom she strolled with

rather than rode, & Jo-Jo,

her phantom brother;

imaginary he was,

but also loving;

both staying by her night &

day, inside and out, faithful.

The three of them played together,

thus keeping loneliness at bay.

For G-Man & Brian Miller, two tankas, and a couplet for fun.
