we stand together
through thick and thin
married at birth
silently honouring unwritten treaties

In response to a recently published tanka inspired by the above photo by Gabriel Rosenstock who composed it in both Irish and English:
ní bhraitear sa chroí
an draíocht atá i ngach crann
tá an croí sioctha
sa gheimhreadh atá an Úcráin
geimhreadh fada an anamathe magic of trees
Gabriel ROSENSTOCK
is not mirrored in the heart:
it knows only frost
Ukraine is in a winter
the long winter of the soul
