Whips & Coveting

Shy is the paint
that unveils intricacy to eyes
i cannot open the door
to the rooms that paint me
 
away
and away from eyes
is a grave
and a tree
my stone
my tree
and there I dodge her whips
comfort heavy places
with light finger touch
and covet all beauty
until the mountain calls
i can open my arms there
seeking the pure air
my sky in decay
