Shining Against Each Other
by Jerry Ratch
They keep
shining
against each
other
in the paintings
The women
the men
passing
by
Couples strolling
along the avenues
Watch their
faces
as they
blend
into
the future
Sitting beside each
other
in cafés
Put their bones
together
Their broad
features

Nice poem, Jerry.
Lose all the capital letters without loss.
I like it, thanks.
The whole image of "shining against each other" is very powerful. I agree you don't need the capitals.
Thank you all!
