Your Fear
You keep all things this, and feelings that, placed exact -
frightened that all out of sorts might render life cracked.
Like a turtle, you dip and hide inside your shell
while love and dream possibilities just slide, ignored, on by.
Should air blow slight quivers, you hunker down full force
and request I, too, ponder all courses for air's hurts.
All of good and beauty is by your fear repelled.
All that is truly loving is by your fright censored.
Until a day dawns that you view a blank canvas,
I must quit as Dorothy assuring perfect in your Kansas.
