Sanctuary

by Anita Mac

The day must come
when my shirt will be
just a means of covering myself
and might be easily discarded
without a heaviness
   .weighing.
   .down.
random passages of my mind;
stepping out of
a mere
convenience&courtesy;

rather than disarming
under duress from
a lust I don’t recognize
as my own.

I think, eventually,
it must.

the opening grabbed me and threw me through the rest of the piece. amazing!

How well-balanced is Jon? Quite the opposite effect on me, which is a good thing [though probably not].
Disarming...now that's a poetic stroke that pulls its weight :>

love the whole kit and kaboodle of this architecture of words.
