The latest prompt at We Write Poems is about finding, making, defining what is a safe place. And so… I put together another “and-then-again” poem. Here:
–
And then again, if I should say
that what is hidden,
will be safe;
–
Is it enough for you to stay
a silent secret
stashed away?
–
Is it enough to go unknown,
uncared for,
unhated though,
just for the sake of
being safe?
–
Avoidance is the safety game.
