They drank Darjeeling tea
from Lenox china teacups
Kettle One vodka
in signature cocktails
Red cashmere sweaters
styled singularly
uniting in tragedy and triumph
behind the blinds
naked dancing moonwalk
or curled up in a ball wearing
flannel by the fire
no judgment
in the vault of friendship
the key hidden
under a garden perennial
rooted
