I'll scratch my eyes shut on the force of your words.
Delicate colors burst up like small flowers.
I'd rather be blind than face your sharp blades
cutting defenses down in the dirt.

Quite a large garden and quite a large gate.
I'll find my way out, fences to ladders,
climbing the air and tasting the sun.
What will it take to find my way back.

Don't touch me just yet -- I can learn angles.
Observing perspective, the image is blurred.
But once I remember the matter is urgent
I can go back to distant, slow circles.

Three sides are walked through. Only one left.
I know enough to find the gate out.
Never again to wander your garden.
I know enough. To find the gate out.

Thanks brian. It's good to be home for a moment.

Sue, much thanks. This was inspired by listening to Last Dance on repeat.
