so fragile this question

of place
and time

so fragile are we

when placed between the catastrophic
quietness and waiting

waiting

memories are weights upon residual buoyancy

clasp to this moment
to these words

enough confusion that comes from simply not knowing

not knowing

or knowing

that things take their own course regardless of how we help it along

reckless

waiting

fragile

holding vigil to the inevitability
of what…?

holding on

clear in the mind, the image of love

it is not a sacrament
against any number of well worn truths

fra-gile
reduced in this crucible

it would only be sad if we refused to live
regardless
of truth and beauty and the disparate warmth
offered by a hand out stretched

there are no words for this
only raw waiting

fragile

so fragile

but so incredibly strong
