Sympatico

R.M. Dolin, 2013

It doesn’t matter North or South; the world
winds in wicked ways.  More hidden in shadows and
metaphors up North but just as evil . . . just as tolerated.  
Sympatico has escaped, but only for just now. 

Like darkness at the edge
of light, always there are whispers chasing
us at every turn. 
Peace is a long-term luxury for
those hiding in plain sight that no amount of
running or struggle can afford.
That leaves right now, and when 
combined with a willingness to welcome kindness
it makes pieces of happiness possible.
