This Shall Pass
Every crack you see endangers me…
as time fills it with dread
Shallow wails may swallow me
but straddle flailing pride
and abject design
Restore our hearts we must,
but you say it will pass
Timely words in sequence may yet
result in mine
Unchecked but still censored…
My reply has been battered
and strewn across a malignant wilderness
Redacted belief intimately shadows
us,
But you say…
this too shall pass
