Quasi Ode to Compassion

 

by pooling compassion, to walk at her side, to accept her anxieties. our pupils in pain our screams with shame, our inner whale sharks. upon a sakura or pelting a pineapple, looking into pitfall eyes; as blind souls as needing security such vulnerable creatures. but compassion thus obscure while we become frustrated. such climate opinions such mind-keepers, or soft into abrasive doubts. to stencil my life, such geometric behaviors, certain Titan ambition. our new garments on an old person while chastising our intentions.
