Trust
Trust is reckless
The seed’s risk in breeching
Sanctuary walls
The wren building
In branch’s undulating safety
The colt greeting gravity
Moments after arrival

Trust is tenuous
Rent by silent absence
Wrecked by unspoken fractures
Lost in cruelty’s mirth

Trust is made
Of stiched rifts between lovers
Open arms of mothers
Of forgiveness asked
and
Absolution granted
