the fear is in the risk –
seed, water, weed, fence
cultivating love
and nothing grows
the fear is in the helplessness
of trying to change paths
and the other doesn't alter trajectory
until it's too late
and you're in separate orbits
the fear is in losing a battle
losing face
in front of yourself
in postponing the call to arms
until peace settles like dew
all on its own
without any help from you
