Nursery Rhyme

we can’t keep
each other

safe we can’t
speak our child-

hood names we
can’t peal the

wolves away
we can’t leap

the candle
flame

  1. peal the/ wolves - wolfish bells

    leap/ the candle - trembling light

    a limpid spell for everybody's disenchantment.

    1. Hello WB,
      Thanks for dropping by again, and for taking the poem out for a test drive, a walk around the block. Appreciate much your attentive eye.
      Cheers,
      B.R.
