blather

misstree they might as well be lion tamers,
for their ability to reach deep into
toothy maw and stroke sentitive spots
just so, the way that things inside of armor
melt against my will, the way i can see
what it would be like, such caring,
such a proper pack, and so much fun,
and i'm grinning, backing over a cliff
while brittle once-broken bones
lunge to stop me, but their grip is dusty,
and the breeze swelling under me is
warm and sweet, and i'm betting
it will carry me a while in bliss
worth every broken bone that might be after.
