you reach

love may sneak

seeping

into thirsty veins

bleeding your soul

from the boundaries

of your body.
If, reaching

fall

sweet sanction

may exile consternation

from cowering heart

dissolving self-deception

from evasive eyes.


If, u-n-c-o-n-n-e-c-t-i-n-g

you remain

a fearful distance

on pitted path

behind defensive wall

sheltering canopy

receptive depths

stay

          out

                 of

                       reach.
