I gather up your subtle weaknesses
for my defense
shirt and tie facade
gilded smile and nod
and keep them underneath your pillow
for when I break in
together, but are we together really at all?
fire with fire and failing
be near, revere me
simmering coals still to carry
will you help me through?
a helper not a lesser or simply an afterthought
leave and hold fast as the two become one
what better way to undermine the picture’s potency?
stir ancient enmity?
separate union in the face of the son
ezer kenegdo
him and her the world in kind
power under all aligned
