defining concepts

terror:
the unpredictable unthinkable
happening to someone
you might love

anti-terror:
gifting stability and certainty
to someone
struggling to survive

*we are all beings in a ring*

poetry

a path through the dark

a path through the dark

trekking in the dark
with no torch
I glide along uneven ground
follow the pale ribbon of path
keep pace with my son’s
pale calves below black shorts
try not to consider
snakes
do my best to noiselessly
fade into the grey
