On Their Anniversary
Josh Radwell
On their anniversary they held hands in public. Fingers interwoven, elbows touching, side-by-side.
The city was full of raucous voices and glaring eyes.
If they weren't mistaken for brothers—horrendous, they looked nothing alike—they were noticed for who they were and this garnered looks.
They weren't always bad looks, sometimes they were kind. But looks were the last thing they wanted. Looks made them let go and walk apart.
Their gift to each other on their anniversary was to love openly, with pride. The two men held hands in the sunlight and did not let go, looks be damned.
