love,
the most destructive
vulnerability
obstructed by the custom
of guarded humility
that can never pursue
any interest in purity
to keep the living whole
in peace and endless security
oh, violent vulnerability
slighted by my words
whom betray nothing
of my heart's mind
but clear cut diamonds
of the coolest civility
for mild understanding
to chain the enraged truth
seeking to speak
through these irises
the purest contradiction
to the ice burning skin

but clear cut diamonds
of the coolest civility
for mild understanding
to chain the enraged truth
seeking to speak
through these irises
the purest contradiction
to the ice burning skin
