any face

any face
by letting a stray word
strike it,

I have caused

what can I do to make us even?
Demand a hundred fold of me - I'll pay
it.

During the day I hold my
feet accountable
to watch out for wondrous insects and their

Magnetic fields draw us to
Light; they move our limbs and thoughts.
But it is still dark; if our hearts
do not hold a lantern,
we will stumble over each other,

But it is still dark; if our hearts
do not hold a lantern,
we will stumble over each other,
huddled beneath the
sky
as we are.
