Trust, a fragile bird
rides the swinging buzzing wire
until it flies off.
jittery bird, trust,
it cocks its head to the wire
and finally, bolts
Says the jittery:
you can’t talk your way out of
what your actions tell.
Trust is not fickle
its long remembering heart
holds everything close.
I think I’m still playing off the idea of “there is hope in a comma”. Maybe I’m looking for a semicolon? Or a full stop?
