crossing over
no more hiding
behind shadow
or the poison path
time to rise to obligation

two joyous ones
hand in hand
mouth to mouth

breath for breath
pain as they slide into
solitude

pricked & pierced

trying times loom
growth strains forth

gutdrag pull tug stretch
hidden undergrowth rewards
behind whiptailed flesh flaws flayed
immature playgrounds bulwarks
left and no sides choose

light comes crashing
restoring balance
from the chaos
wrought by
