Justice lies wandering

Angst

Amid the scream of anger

The pain


Of growing up

The pain of being or becoming

A grown up growing up


Always in the past

Shit

That fucking stuff


Which brings regret

Awkwardness which opens

All those darkened doors


Too far away

And far too close

To see or to feel the love


Tears

And misheard conversations

No words bring justice


Where justice lies wandering

Where hope is left squandering

Or is pushed away completely


Fight or flight

In unselfish persecution

Of self, at best unworthy


Except of blame, shame that

You ever entered

Through life’s wide open door


Cannot love

Ever be left like this

Ever like this be left


Instead

The will of co-ordination

Fingers, just touch on fingers


For this is far too early

Far too early for a full on, come on

Shoulder wrapped embrace


Dare

Of each, and then of each other

Enter always the complicated situations


Engage your care

Back into those deep

Wider than furlong’s furrows


Leave space

Burrowed

With time; with gentleness


Of room for mistakes

And misappropriations

Conserve creation there for to cherish


This love, too far away

Far too close

Just now to see, or even to be seen
