[2.26.17]
How can one guard
and yet give the same?
the risk we take to give
lies the risk of losing guard
the heart is too delicate
to unlock is to release
waters to a dry land,
a spring unending.
we dig and we draw
from the well being
quenched yet too
quenching
so that the well
no more can
give
dry
but too late
to be revived?
the spring unending
can be regained again
but must be cared more
than merely to quench
