The Taste of Blood

A little girl cute but ungainly
Gums gapped and mind so sure
She jumps up onto the ledge 
Peers down sees the ant shapes below
and tastes deep diving fright 
But nothing compared to 
The fear she'll know
when the roots of her blonde curls are reduced 
To brown-red wire from the blood the blood leeching from her scalp
fragile porcelain 
She too pulls herself with some effort now to the ledge 
recalls a day 
Long ago 
when she stood on the same ledge
Then there was fear
now only 
the taste of iron on her tongue
the taste of her own blood

Our Road

Our road lies together
But the paths are not straight
Your path has led you to worlds
I have not known 
You have glimpsed mysteries along the trail which are a fog to me as I glance back 
I take your hand and the path ahead is clearer
The edges are hazy but with each step
my horizon is all the clearer
Each step is surer than the last
We pave each step
Intertwining our memories
Weaving together our experience
Ahead there will be dips
And crossroads
I have felt my heart sink into chasms
Knowing the trials we will face on this road
The missteps that threaten to tear asunder all that has been built
Where our  paths split 
But even at the splitting and rupturing of my world 
I know the paths will curl back 
And there in the haze we shall
Reunite 
Continuing walking this cold unforgiven road
