Peace always
————–
It’s a fragile peace that
exists between us.
Something that can fall
to dust and powder
at a word. Nay,
even a glance or
thought. The value of this
we know and so
guard with our lives.
We pretend to be okay,
to talk, smile and go
through the motions of
civility, sometimes,
friendliness…
all the while cowering
inside,
hoping that nothing goes amiss,
that the glue which holds this
peace in place
remains forever.
