be; so that

be fast nostalgia

do not linger here

i beg not to be reminded

so that i do not have to crawl

be quick time

do not pass me

and mill not around me

so that i may be able to breathe

be slow sorrow

shadow me in humility

stay just there behind me

so that i never want to turn back

be kind contentment

visit me as often as you can

encompass me where i camp

so that i have the promise of shelter

be a burden contrition

fight me with fierce hunger

hunt my every step

so that i can call you friend

be gentle regret

understand you have already won

stand next to me

so that you are only a shadow of who i am

be honest fear

know that you have no authority over me

keep me in your crosshairs

so that i remain on guard

be passive passion

let me understand you

burn slow and evenly

so that i may continue to know you

be still desire

please do not burden me

see i am tilting windmills

so that i may be productive
