I hid from him; over weeks, months or years I hid
with an untold irreverence. Through hurried nights
and averted glances. Through a nervous rain and
many storms beneath the noise of scattered
conversation. Under the gauze of self-refection, or
some decided plan, I hid. Among the cracks between,
with room to nestle down and rest. A chance not
to give pause, but take it. Longing for
some unperturbed resolution.
