rare birds

they've been married

so long

that they look like each other,

they finish

each other's sentences,

they dress alike,

they nod,

and laugh in the same way.

their mannerisms

are similar.

you rarely see one without

the other.

hardly ever a cross word

leaves their mouth,

they touch, they kiss, 

they hug when leaving

or coming home.

always with flowers,

a treat or gift.

they don't agree on everything,

but enough to

make it work,

to make it last.

rare birds, almost extinct,

from what i understand.
