Offset

 

 

 

The dynamism
of your presence
comes at a cost.
Gone is the calm:
          The soothing balm
          of routine.

In its place,
A skittering core.

 

Dancing
with faltering feet.

Insistent, but twisted stomps,
Improving
to match what you need.
Or so I think.
'Cause you sing differently
Than before.

 

What Iā€™d give
for the offset:
          the inertia
          of your absence.
Peace,
Even if a diversion.
