.
It is so easy to step up,
open my mouth, and say
the hard composed
thing that alters the world.
Then, go away thinking
harshly about wrongs
that are easily righted.
.
Better places are created
because they do not occur
naturally and are made to order;
fashioned from seeing clearness,
being in the fray of wrongness
to turn the page to okay
works for me.
.
Fear walks with hatred as if
lovers from only one possible
past. Love wants to intervene
but won’t. Most days I think love
needs, like Death, a scythe.
