self/defense

A lot is done for the sake
Of preservation - endless
Restructuring of the soul

The face, the body, home
Escapes imminent at each
Turn, a flight fight response

Even at the best of times
Sleep minimum. Aware
Of sound - movement is

Our enemy, as are tears
Smiles and slight caresses
Walls our simple defense

We need better to preserve
Improve.........................
..........And destroy the past
