Where We Are Safest
Crash!
And with a resounding,
Deafening, thunderous
Avalanche of noise,
All is shattered.
Old behaviors find their way back to the fore.
The easy smiles,
The forced niceties,
The friendly pretense
All mask what is really there:
A sea of angst, hurt, and painful misunderstanding.
Nevertheless,
The cloak slips easily onto her shoulders
With little resistance.
It’s such a comfortable garment to wear.
