with gentle murmurs and the warmth of touch,
there is always someone left out in the cold,
but no one ever thinks about it, much.

or, at least, put up a lively fight
against the flood of hardship, and its crest
that seems to want us smashed into the rocks.

care of his britches, and pulls up his socks.
Sometimes, life is what a mother makes.

The harshest prison is to be turned loose.
