shy child hold my hand
away from pride this time,
fly your present, a soul-swept pennant,
away with thoughts of mine.
my day elaborates, elongates,
way behind the mess we call consideration.
why care, deliberate,
wait, awaiting all commiseration?

by one measure i left you alone,
the night nipping at your heels.
tie my pendant to your wrist,
my flight with yours, intone:
hold, stay, curse the day, illuminate
the right wisdom folding loving true belief
towards the wards of fate.
the safety i held in place for you,
of consternation, of misplaced misery,
our souls slowly, fitfully, fretfully progress.
