A twin is like a mirror on A childhood bedroom wall. Even in one's memories, No thought eludes reflection. The partner of one's springtime is The phantom of one's fall: Even living far away, Still part of each perception. O bond unbreakable! The sharing Of one crowded womb, One birth, one infancy, one time Two equally must own. How beautiful! A lifelong pairing, Though there now be room Enough to roam the whole wide world Yet never be alone.
