fence


being straight was meant to be a blessing, 

until I discovered it also meant being alone.

what do I do with a straight fence

that keeps love outside 

only to preserve

bitter peace

in the arms of loneliness. 


I've given my left eye 

to the seer. 

He has taught me folly, 

and the plights of honor. 

Perhaps I'll find the right side

of the fence before dawn.
