Social Yet Distanced: A View with an Emotionalorphan and Friends

-Assured-

By Jack Varnell · 05/10/2011

in the dark forest

she is far above the ground.

she feels the lift and fall of walking

but feels comfortably paralyzed.

beneath her, the shoulders of a man

one who would carry her for miles and years.

when she is weightless,

or heavy with doubt.

he is as unsteady

as a leaf in the wind.

she, like a feather floating,

or on the crest of a round stoned river.

she knows he will fall.

because she is above him,

she will fall further.

it makes no difference.

because the night holds up

all around them.

like great fields of poppies,

or fluffy teddy bears worn from time
