Of love and terror
By all I know
Chastened and laid bare
I take it back
The hurt I gave
My infant will
Accepts my searing thoughts
Like an adult grown after all
Past the vanity of self-annihilation
I tiptoed lightly not to wake you
Worry is no friend to love
Suddenly you turned in your sleep
And like a curtain collapsing
I could see what animates the world
