Lion's Den

Eyes
Lion-bright, amber soaked in whiskey

Twin cocktails of savage understanding
Enough to surrender belly up

Not "nice"
Too insipid a descriptor

It's kindess

A tangible place
A geographic coordinate
There are degrees, minutes and seconds to the fracture that softened you

A turn around the corner
Behind a closed door
A 3 click shift of the door handle, 2 minute walk inside a hidden room, 6 second 360 degree turn

A fissure cracks along the wall curving like a backbone
Toppling a few books to the floor
A table overturned, but the couch is welcoming and worn

Light bursts through the windows mindless of the hesitant, jagged glass

There is repair here
An under reconstruction
Yet the table is set for tea, pot still warm

The light is so very clear,
goldenrod erupting

The very center of you
Only caught in glimpses
