Years pass cracking Like Glass

Years pass
At last
I let go
of my mask.

I battered.
down my gate
crumbled
then baked
served on
crystal plate.
coffee poured
drank bitter
with drop of cream.

You in tatters
hanging onto the
last standing pole
the wind
weathering your
grace.

Now we find
ourselves stuck in between
To bring among
other things
the strength
someone to learn
upon again
take heart
pull me apart
put me back together

I’ll be your winter
sweater
I’ll lighten your
load
you’ll float
again
before they took
what you meant only to lend

I’ll be your winter chill
your electric light
in the swollen blackness

I’ll be your shield
in battle
beat up
smile through cracked teeth

Our speed set on
cruise control
into another setting
sun

we will chase
we will run.
