You sit by me, Waiting

Patiently

*

I thought I might move Over,

make some Space

between us

*

Who are you?

sitting beside me

the Field before us

Empty

*

Are you here to Gather

as I am,

Reassemble

the bits and pieces

which, in the Frenzy

of everyday, get dispersed?

Or are you here to remind me

of what I mustn’t lose?

*

That in truth

there is nothing more to Fear

*
