Salt

Written in response to Gryponrhi's gorgeous Duncan/Conner story, posted in her LJ yesterday. You might want to go read that first.


Salt (Duncan to Conner, After "Talents" by GryphonRhi)

Like all of Terra's children,
by the Sea, born.
Salt in life, in tears,
in the scored grief of wounds.

By this communion,
the salt of your blood and mine,
Brother,
we endure.

::happy sigh:: And I love this every bit as much now as I did the first five times I read it. Thank you so *very* much. Okay if I link to this journal entry at the end of my fic?
