Grace

All stops. Only harmful when reported.
It’s safe when we go outside, so then we’ll wait to go outside
Innocuous. Haven-safe in light of conflict.
Bright lights making brighter sides. Night lights making lighter rights.
So saving face, saying grace keeps all the chins up.
Revert back to second comings and our hands stay entwined
Knuckles lit with fear and grit laying ourselves out on the lines
Why can’t we stand?
All scars rile up the uninvited.
Fears are taking off like duct-taped windows.
Played it safe when they came around. Made safe when they came around.
Indelible. What’s illiterate for thinkers?
Can’t keep from running off. Can’t stop from the running off.
Told to come forth and keep wearing my fifth place ribbon.
Let’s keep all smiles contained with markings on the wall and keeping all of
our arms at arms length bidding fond farewell.
Breaking waves.
Then the of chords will echo «Ah» bringing tears of laughter to the ones who
followed
Ah.
When will we speak???
