Shields up, continue to build your castle
stone by aching stone, all the while
shouldering the wool drawn over her eyes
by the delicate hands, so red to your sight;
by the willowy figure behind her
the one bathed in a wild, cosmic glow.
Watch the wild one's web illuminate,
become entranced as it glistens
in the warm moonlight.
Smile with hopes that squinting will blur
the clarity of the circumstance into a seeming mirage
as you stare at them from across
your treacherous moat,
ever-so Zen-like.
