TOWARDS THE SUN

prolonged period of failure
what was it that met that intimacy in you
damage, singing in the dark together

how do we tilt the way towards love and away from fear
tossed against sudden storms
small, constipated communication
we got beaten. low. lit from within

what you wanted, was the worst thing for you
undercurrent of this story is defiance
a faucet on full all the time

the dance between being altered 
while maintaining a sense of integrity
the heart of all community, relationship
these marked moments
minds disturbed
