~elders & infants~
  ~learning to know one another~
  ~understanding~
  ~they are the same~
  ~dependent as separate hues~
  ~vibrant as each string~
  ~the chord humming~
  ~life~

~IX.  A Tender Wrapping~
  {excerpted from ~Quodlibet~}

~standing up for pennies~
  ~all hail at a dollar down~
  ~these blankets a~
  ~hundred pound weight~
  ~strive to earn alive a shroud~
  ~a safe place to bury your worried face~
  ~o children learn to walk away~
  ~plant your seeds~
  ~your garden of youth~
  ~be tall & good to yourselves~
  ~those older whom look away~
  ~may be kind & understanding~
  ~ever useful in the odd circumstance~
  ~such as surviving under siege~
  ~construction of birthing & burial blankets~
