Look and Look Away

Glances are poison dances 
Best avoided entire or taken 
A tiny sip a day

Adverb not my ministry
This agency is willful 
Untethered to principle

On dusk, consumption
Bought out, wrought
Fragile eyes---caught

A green that simmers 
In a wish to lime
Unfazed, hazy, chartreusian

A best glance
A good hope
Valuable thought

May my journal spare my character
The incisions it has earned
By my trove I spend my fences
On a freedom yearned
