on tenderness

this lives somewhere within and between us
exists not without, cannot survive alone
forms around us, surely not beyond us
fear not the performance, fear not the act
does time and place and circumstance persist
to permit retrieval of such gentleness?

On the Street iii

Pedestrian steps

Off pavement into traffic

Safe from passing breath

Treacherous corners await

Us, the unwary
