Trip

Life asks you to walk anywhere
Gives you means to think everywhere
But there are no such treks as U-turns;
Plod ahead while glancing back
And find yourself sprawled on pavement.

Anchor

The condensate of your kindness
Beads futilely upon me
For I have oiled the soft places
And hardened all the rest
Against the many dangers
I’ll walk my path alone
My regret, now a burden
The only anchor I have known.

Ice People

An embrace would meld us
Thaw us and bind us
Rough edges would melt and seam together
Forever, we would be unable
To be apart
Forever, we would be unable
To find sole solace
So our frail hearts
Love with caution
So we, who shake
Love in fear
