tailing the snark

some eyes reach out

others pull in.

a heart of sympathy

is slightly

threatening.

everything stops too short

walls come down

a maze is formed.

backward we follow trails of

light.

the moth alights for a moment

before intoxication.

courting insanity is half a

map

that dis-solves everything.

taming horses to do our

bidding

must have felt liberating.

worshipping trees is backward

sympathy

walls coming down around the

heart.

the urge to move past

rejects passivity

dissolves in speed

courting insanity.

the heart of sympathy is

threatening.

intelligence and charity bend

together

to form a key.

half a map is a mirror we

can't see.
