emotions crack the archer's fire mask
with a brutal halt
fluttered egos falling into the kiln
with a crackling spark of definition
iron & silver tempered .....
mercury cooling
we cull
weeds & vines
unworthy bonds
falling away under this intense gaze
guarded & secret
and
closer to summer ...
your knighted unwillingness
beguiling & messy
bold
movement & adventure holds surrender distant
you are safe
you are built of trust & clouds gray
steel
go deeper ... deeper still
incise & unfold into a home pined for, but never seen
but known. yes.
a wellness healed at the fire's edge wrapped in belief ...
you are safe
.... built of trust & clouds gray
