I walk unaided by and large
watching always for the ambush;
holding hands is often
one grip short of hostile fire.

I write at 3 a.m. � alone
each breath is mine,
not yours, nor even ours.

Except - when my hair cascades
your shoulder, tangles on
the aftertaste of skin
it feels right to be � so close.

Maybe one day I won�t
guard my every step in case
I lose it.
Maybe one day
I will hold your hand.
