of false attachment

that is really invisibility cloaked terror and fear

I follow the clicks

and remind myself to believe

my own utter truth

this: that I may wind up

ready to

shed tears along with whole

lives

now we are harkening to angelic choruses

sweetly sighing

God only ever wants us to

be obliged

to really

truly

Love
