Pieces

43.

The luck of hard work comes into play
whenever you're around, canceling out
those impetuous thoughts of being an imposter
a calm place emerges
an architecture that protects us both
metal and concrete and glass 
blocking out the world we know
the one that has many times painted us
glowing in a different light 
and at sunset
at just the right angle
there is a path for our timid feet
a place that welcomes overgrowth—
the abundance of life
