Clear Path
There is no risk. I follow you
through thickets that scratch my face
and tear my clothes. Not sure
where I am or what road
leads up or down
and I am not afraid.
Nothing harms me
though I am powerless
on my own. You hedge
fingers, heart, mind, toes so
courageous does not
describe who I am.
Just finally
weak, small,
indefatigable.
Touch me and
I am no longer here.
