Run

Don't run
keep your wings buried in your skin
don't let them breathe
don't breathe
exhale a little when he sleeps
beat cracked cement with broken feet
apologize when your clumsy heart
bumps into his fixed mind
paint over his scarlet letter
handcuffed in tarnished gold rings
believe that you are too old to be new
don't run
you can't begin again,
when you started at the end.
