Better than a day of fear

the hush of nightfall
nature’s nightly resetting
light reveals the ache

Hues of pink and red
one last blush before the cold
even frost can’t hush the bloom

fall colors return
your brief flare of crimson joy
and time bows slightly

shoot me with your arrow
or cover me with your wings
are you just a myth?
there's no butterflies
in my tummy
and my heart never aches
I see all the happy couples
but that's never been me
or that's the lie I tell myself
am I wrong or a liar, cupid?
or can you make me believe?

The Maginot Line, yes—quite the line, the liniest of lines. A #defensive line that lined the land with line-like linearity. One cannot overstate its alignment, its delineation, its sheer linedness. If ever a line defined the line between lines, it was this line. Until when it wasn’t.
