The souls I wouldn’t try to fix,
the compliments I didn’t give,
and all the hearts who never asked
for mine to be so earnest—
Wind Sang
When the hawk lifted above the goats
grazing on the mountain,
into the mist-filtered,

as the tide rushes out.

Grief drops, panic rises,
and I’ve got my deflection grin on.
