A DANCE WITH DISSONANCE
It's duly noted that
An anomaly in life is met with
Strength, character...
And even marksmanship?
Is it wrong if I go to the shamans?
If knees are scraped, often from temple visits?
If I dine with monks, for a percentage of hope?

Dissolving like mist at dawn.
I reach out, but the hand...
