Leaning

LEANING 

Old man and woman 
locked arm in arm 
neat dressed beige 
sweetly  leaning in
towards each other
backs now to the world
hard to tell who is leaning 
on who but their faces 
are towards some exit
smiling private O.K.s 
…we’ve seen it all 
we’ve done all’s to be
what matters is we are
together now as we were 
then and now to the end 
every leaning step earned
and paid in full with life
