Stare
STARE
cold, hard stare;
set chin
tense shoulders,
targeting eyes of ice,
betraying no emotion;
…none.
defenses drawn fast
til the coming of one
bereft of armament,
spreading quiet upon the field
with fiery dark eyes.
iron defenses;
penetrated.
loving father reaches
the lonely child within
who weeps release
